Thanks fellers. I did a little more searching and see Strano Performance has the set of four on sale at $360 and Bynun has just the fronts at $160 each. I don't recall where I saw them at $360 the pair.

Regardless, $200 for two of the fronts is still a good deal for somebody that needs them. This is $200 FOR BOTH.

Eh, not really. 100 shipped? Those things look pretty beat up. If you were going by BRAND NEW prices, a front pair would only run you 180$ new since you can get a set for 360.

Sorry for making you a reasonable offer, if you feel like someone is going to buy used shocks for more than they cost new than keep on trying.

Idk how that makes sense to you.

Please explain to everybody here how spending $360.00 is less than $200.00 for an item.

Please show everybody here where these shocks can be purchased, brand new, for less than $100 each.

These shocks are available without buying the set of four from:

$180 each from Thunder Racing;
$160 each from Byun Speed;
$160 each from Speed engineering.

Anybody who has installed and removed these shocks knows the marks on the shock tube is unavoidable from the spring perches. Installing these shocks, driving one mile on them then removing them will result in them looking exactly like these do in the pictures. iWon, did you notice this was stated in the opening thread? Did you notice these shocks have about 2,000 miles? In a DD, this is about four weeks driving. Did you notice the pricing for the set of four shocks was discussed in this thread already? As it was already discussed in this thread, what purpose might it serve for you to restate what's already been stated? Did you read all the posts in this thread? Seriously, it's not like it's nine pages.

Perhaps you're just trying to get your post count up. GET A LIFE. If you have nothing positive or helpful to add to threads, you shouldn't add your random thoughts with inaccurate information.

lol I'm trying to get my post count up? There is nothing to be gained by having a bunch of posts.. that's dumb. All I'm trying to do is buy a set of front shocks because I have a pair of rears, and get them at a price that actually makes sense.

Just because they are priced higher individually or for a pair NEW doesn't mean that's what they should be sold for. Suppose I go off your logic, I could buy a bunch of full sets at $360, and sell each shock for $160, making $640 off each set of them if I did it like you are trying to.

It's wrong. And dumb. And I'm going to stop posting in this thread. Your logic makes no sense. You will NEVER get 200$ for 2 used bilsteins in poor condition. You will be bumping this thread for months.

UMMM yeah, we see it all the time here and as your posts are meaningless in this thread, what else could it be?

The rear shocks can be had individually for $110 each. This totals the set of four, purchased singly, at $520. Please check your math prior to posting in a public forum viewed around the world.

Have you touched and held these shocks? They have one month's use on them. Used almost new would be a better description-and it's accurate, as is anything I might sell here is. I, like you, have good seller feedback.

Great. Thank you sir. You shouldn't have posted in this thread to begin with.

BUT WAIT, BEFORE YOU GO, please accurately respond to my questions posted above (these questions were prompted by your statements):

Please explain to everybody here how spending $360.00 is less than $200.00 for an item.

And:

Please show everybody here where these shocks can be purchased, brand new, for less than $100 each.

$360 for a set makes it $90 per shock. WS6 store also actually sells them for 92.99$ (rear) or 119.99(front) NEW, not USED.

To answer your questions:

Anyone who wants a big post count on a car forum needs to spend some time outside in the sun. I have more important/fun things to be doing like work, banging my girl, or finishing my camaro.

I don't need to touch and feel shocks that are CLEARLY beat up by looking at the pictures. 2k miles is great, if it's not a lie, but they don't look like they have only 2k on them. My shocks didn't come out of my camaro looking like that, and neither do anyone elses.

If your price makes sense then why did 3 people including myself feel the need to inform you of what these cost new? Because they are right, and you are wrong.

You are welcome for all the free bumps. You will be trying to sell these for a long time.

Thank you for stepping back in here and clarifying everything.

So it looks like $120 each is the best price for these shocks, singly from WS6. Buying the set of four is $360. If somebody only needed the fronts, why would they spend $360 on four?

I've had more bites via PM's than you'd probably believe, I have time, the shocks are still for sale as long as it takes.

The next time we meet here on LS1Tech, we'll probably be on the same side of the fence, not opposite sides.

Meanwhile, don't let the door hit you in the ***.

I "downgraded" to QA1 coil overs. The Bilstein shocks are better as a shock but I had height issues and needed the adjustability. Nothing in my front end suspension is stock.

I purchased them in May of this year. They were installed on my car for about four weeks and they have just under 2,000 miles on them.
