Bilstein Shocks installed+new arms+others
ok so after $1100 spent on my car..its finally fixed and everythign works fine. Items fixed: -antenna mast -antenna motor -antenna gromet -OEM exhaust(had to get it bent slightly cause it looked crooked.it was also knocking. .now it looks and sounds 100% better then before.) old one rusted and had to be replaced after it fell off -bilstein touring shocks all around -two new control arms. The ball joints went out...after 30 k miles...so if they go out again ill have to look into that -a nice wash and wax So aafter installing the shocks and arms the car handles much better. Body roll is was greatly reduced and road feel is slightly better. The ride, although a little stiffer is still comfortable. yea so thats it...hopefully i wont have to fork out any more money for repairs. and no upgrades for a little while.

Nope. Drop the height and you gotta change the shocks. Pretty much a package deal. I mean you could run the stock shocks, but they'd blow out in a matter of days or weeks.

I would have dropped it man.. brand new springs are only 200-300, and matching shocks for them wouldnt be any more expensive than oem, unless you go with something better or adjustable.

Nice work. I have Bilstein tourings with M3 springs which dropped it slightly and made it a bit firmer. I got the springs on ebay for about 50.00.
