96-02 Bilstein HD Front Struts and Rear Shocks

I posted this on ebay but thought someone here may be interested as well. Here is the ad:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...269449262&rd=1

For sale are four Bilstein HD shocks and struts that fit 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runners, 4WD. The part numbers are:

**Two BE5-2450 - Front Struts**

**Two BE5-2451 - Rear Shocks**


The shocks/struts have about 14 months / 12k miles on them. I installed these on my wife's 1999 4Runner and she preferred the OEM shocks instead so I took them back off. My loss, your gain. They are in great condition. Please contact me if you have any questions.

She didn't like the feel at low speeds. She is the daily driver but I know exactly what she's talking about. Most of her driving is in city and the OEM shocks seem better at damping the oscillations in those conditions. On the highway, the Bilsteins are a bit better than the OEMs. The OEMs feel just a little floaty compared to these on the highway. So, for driving in town, these haven't impressed us too much but on the highway they are a tad better. Honestly, I'm overall a bit disappointed with these shocks as they didn't ride quite like I expected, but several folks seem to really like them.
