bilsteins
 

looking for blown or used oem bilstein...pm me with details

wow, how specific

lol, yeah, because there is only ONE bilstein shock ever put under a Miata!! Come on guy, if you want what you need, you need to be more specific!!

how specific can i be....its simple. This way i have more options

you are an idiot, at least 4 different models came with Bilstein shocks from the factory, WHICH ONES DO YOU NEED????

ok YOU idiot....i would prefer the bilsteins on the (NB) hard S or mazdaspeed but i can work with which ever comes in NA since i'm planning on getting them rebuilt....better for you? lol

I have bilstein HD on the car, how much would yuo pay?

whats the mileage and for what year were they sold (90-97) or (99-05)?

finally, we are getting somewhere. I was thinking of swapping out the Sport suspension from my 90 that came out of a 2002 with 40k miles. had it on for about 800 miles. make an offer I can't refuse.

$200...simply because replacements are almost $400 brand new...

Link to where they're $400 new? (list is $806)

This would be a complete NB Sport setup, not just the shocks, and Tokico springs if desired.

i just need the shocks...i have GCs

i didnt mean replacement oem shocks...i wouldnt pay that much for oem..i meant to replace your shocks with bilsteins

yeah, good luck with that.

I've been offered a set of used bilsteins from an early type r for $150. Is this a good deal?

yes, its good. get them revalved to your liking and they'll be worth every penny

thanks BEN........you've been such a great help lol

*edit* Mr. BEN.....i found what i was looking for, ill take pics and show you what i payed for them when i receive my new shocks valved to spec miata specs

thanks for the offer aswell zoom2zoom

Spec Miata spec's are garbage btw.

Actually, isn't the SM bilstein an off the shelf HD?

so you're saying 700lbs F 375lbs R are garbage for a street driven car? wow...didnt think that was garbage....of course im not planning on running spring rates that high since it would kill me DD in Los Angeles..

Shouldn't you match the spring and shock rates?

i need to buy new front springs first in order to match but for now it will do since i wont be installing them till i get every component

You get shocks valved to specific spring rates. I think Shaikh's at Fatcat are valved to +-25 lb springs, so if you get them valved for 400lb fronts, you can go 425 or 375 to see what's optimal for your driving. FWIW, my revalved Fatcats are running 375/300 F/R and they're very controllable, handle great and are still comfortable on the street. You don't need mega spring rates with properly valved shocks.

the only reason i'm buying those is because i came across a deal im not gonna pass up....im still gonna get them revalved but only the fronts (to about 550 lbs) so i can run them on the street....i just wanted to prove BEN wrong since he wanted to give a sarcastic coment such as "oh, good luck with that"....all you gotta do is search around and wait

wow, great job on being an exception and not the rule, and for finding a seller who didn't know the actual value of his items.

haterrrr lol
