If you can't give us the long story short how about the condense version aka reader's digest.  :poke:  Inquiring minds want to know?  :huh:

Shock or spring.  Just to be clear.
07 Deep GXP auto.  A lot of cosmetic upgrades but not enough performace mods. YET.

I'm soon going to have four lying around, but in a couple of weeks most likely. If you still need it then, let me know.

Cheers needs a shock. He was at my place to get his stock springs put back on and I took off the left rear tire and noticed the shock leaning up against the spring, the piston rod was sheared off at the end

These shocks are a real quality product, had 3 replaced under warranty. This is just one more reason to upgrade. I have always thought that changing the springs without changing the shocks was a bad idea, I prefer matched coilovers unless you are a wild and crazy guy like snaponbob who just designs his own. The BC's look like a real deal at $999 for all 4, lets see how they hold up.

BCs on the way.  I'll let you know.  I'll hold onto my Billies for those in need.  Nothing wrong with them so far.
