I bought an extra set of stock rear shocks to send to MM to slot for my coilover conversion. List price is $43.95 each and they are genuine Bilstein shocks. THat is cheap.

I see a guy selling a brand new set on ebay for $100 a pair and he's getting it.

Buying some to send off for coilover conversion is GENIUS.

If I go coilovers that's what I'll do. Thanks for the tip. :beer:

I added the rotors for looks. They were about $950-$1,000 plus I had the center hats powdercoated. I did it for the looks. No performance differences. I also did not change out the pads which would probably make a difference. I put them on when the car had less than 1000 miles on it.
