How was the grinding? Was it hard to reach?

Alrighty. How does this sound.

10-19 pair, get 10 bucks off.
20-29 pair, get 20 bucks off.
30+ pair, get 25 bucks off.

to get more than 25 bucks would require a pretty hefty buy, like 100 pair.

I think it would be good for someone to act as a point man collecting names of the participants. I'd like to get the names on 5/3 so I can confirm the price. Then I'd like to get the dough by 5/5/04. I'll get 'em all shipped by 5/7/04.

I'm basically going to turn this batch over quick so I can order more. There is interest to carry these in stores. When that happens it will be harder to give deals like this since the stores sorta don't like it if the wholesaler undersells them.

the grinding wasn't hard at all...just make sure to prop up the upper cross member, also makes install easier. dropped my tbars to 15 inches with no body lift. got an alignment today and it feels like stock again. still need longer shocks though. I am very pleased with this product and highly recomend it.

So how many are for sure in?? Im still teetering on getting them because of funds and whether it will give me the reverse hot rod look after install. Right now the back is slightly higher but i need to measure it better and check on the money issue. I'll def have a decision by the 3rd and would really like it if 20+ are in so we can get the bigger break. Thanks again.

This would get alot more attention and interest in the main forum...maybe one of the moderators can hook it up so it gets moved so more are aware of the buy.

I'm definitely in. My mom just handed me a Benjamin and said, "Here's half of your pay for watching your brother."

Score.

If I order a set of Bilsteins for a Samurai, will they work?

According to the Rancho guide, the 5167 is stock for the front of 85-95 Samurai's with 1.5" of lift.

I would head to the dealer and ask for the measurement.

I have the RS5167's installed. I didn't buy my 1.5" ball spacers from ellipster but I need to take my dremel and remove some material that is preventing the spacer from sitting flush on the ball joint due to the uneven drilled center hole. (Kinda wish I waited for his to come out) That's what is holding up my install of them.
