Hey Lance
I've always been a fan of Bilstein but never have owned a pair. Since way back in like 85 i've wanted them. Ivan stewart used them in the Baja 500 and since then I've been sold! Lifrtime warranty. You cant beat that!

I hope my brakes don't rub for now. I have the small 96 brakes with 15" rims so I think I'm ok. SAW's instructions said to mount the valves out and I didn't hear about the brake problem untill after i installed them. They should revise there Instructions... I have to take one side all apart to put in new tie rod end and lower ball joint anyway so i'll probably end up turning them both and getting a realignment after that... I'm off to Palm springs and may check out Galamis while i'm down there. Hopefully I wont screw them up then...I'll try to post some more pics after the trip!

Look For Lifting the lighthouse 2!
