coilovers went on fine, but my quads didnt clear them, they were blown anyway...they were monroe gp's. i dunno if those are stock or not but MM said that bilsteins will fit. where can i get them? and will they fit on a saleen/svo rear axle?

I'm sure thier is a big differance in the valving in the Bilsteins. The question is do you need it ? And of coarse can you afford it. The big advantage I see is that they look more like the stock shocks in that they don't have a sheild covering the piston rod, that gives you more clearance. Dan

i already chucked the monroes cuz they were blown but i'll try and snap some pictures. the part that was hitting the coil was the actual quad shock body though so i dunno if the bilsten body is shorter or not

Gabriel makes a quad shock that's cheap....$25 each. Unsure if they will clear though.

You can get them through autozone or NAPA, they are listed as "Steering dampeners"
