I got fronts from them, but the 3rd gen rears were out of stock. So I went ahead and installed the Bilstein fronts with the 3rd gen Konis I had. It turned out beautifully. The car rides like a dream.

Yeah, just got an email from them yesterday, the 3rd gen rears are out of stock. Doh!

Maybe I'll have to break down and get Koni rears.

Edit: Yup, ordered the Koni 3rd gen rears. Hope they're worth the money!

Can't wait to get the new shock on...hopefully this thing won't ride like a dump truck much longer.

Good to know!

What setting are you running the rears at? I'm hoping to only adjust them once, before I put them on the car. I'm not looking forward to pulling them off multiple times to adjust them.

Thanks!

I ordered on Saturday and they just emailed me and said my whole order was out of stock and they were sending me a refund. ****!

Full soft - just as they come out of the box.
