Bilstein 7100 front reservoir shocks

[bjowett]

Any interest in an extended travel remote reservoir 7100 46mm Bilstein for the front? Price would be roughly $220 a shock.

Any more details? Do you have to use aftermarket UCA's?
Are they for lifted 100's?

I have an insurance settlement check for $1,000 on the way since someone apparently hit my door and back wheel flair like 5 times...I figure I can overlook the dents if I can get some shocks out of the deal.

I am thinking suspension so tell me about it...

Given that these have an 6.5" stroke with 18.5" extended length, arms might be required. They are available with a set valving that might be pretty close to what is needed, or they can be custom valved to anything we want. They are also available w/o reservoir for a bit a less. Bilstein builds these for class 9 and 11 Volkswagen Bugs. B46-1085 is the basic part number for these. A trial fit up wouldn't be a bad idea.

You think limit straps will also be required along with the aftermarket upper arms?

Damnit... I would have been interested but I just bought some Fox shocks for around $250 each.

Those are regular 2.0 shocks which should be less than $120 each. Did you really pay $250 each??
