I bought this 96 with a set on it and the shocks are gone, I am looking for the replacement shock for the kit. I can't seems to find anyone that sells the shocks for this kit..... I have found just the regular bilsteins but not that have the lock ring for the spring adjustment ring.Any help??????

Sean; are the shock bodies alloy, and a dark grey/charcoal color, threaded for most of the shock body, with a Schrader valve tapped into the bottom?? If not, then they are NOT the LG Motorsports kit/setup, but some other kit that Bilstein maybe offered.
I have a complete set of the LGM Bilstein/Hyperco coilovers, for all four corners, with 2 sets of spare rear springs, ALL of the adapters/conversion pieces, and the adjustment tool. But I want a lot of $$$$ for this setup.

I have a bilstein set up, just need the rear replacement shocks for the rear. I have not seen this setup that I have anywere. and ofcourse I cant read the part # on the tag, just the #'s on the shock itself. I have no Idea were the kit was bought it was on the car when I got it, and it was on the car when the kid I bought it off of bought it.... I wonder if it was a old kit that has been discontinued?

I kind of doubt a "kid' would have invested $2300.00 into a handling only shock/spring setup, but I could be wrong.

They are rubber, and the kid didn't, the guy that He bought it off of did all the mods to the car, all the kid did was drive it, and not do the maint. that it needed while he owned it

still no luck anyone have any Idea's. I ended up buying the HD ones for a temp, and put factory rear springs in it. But still wanting to find the replacement shocks
Can you post some pictures of them?
Here are my coilover conversions from Ground Control. Do they look anything like this with a sleeve over the shock?
