Just installed Bilstein inserts in Boge
 

Well I have had a set of Bilstein HD inserts sitting in the garage for about 6 months just never had time to get to it. I had done my usual amount of research on what had to be done and today I decided to do it. I can't believe how easy this was. From start to finish it took me just under 2 hours total for both sides. Everything removed easily and went back together just fine. I did the "tilt" method rather than removing the strut housing. My 83SC now has fresh Bilstein Sports in the rear and HD up front. Next will be replacing my 20/18mm sway bars with 22/21mm which will be happening next month. Well I'm off for a spirited jaunt!!SmileWavy

Excellent! I'm sure the car feels much better now.

Have fun with the sway bars. They're a pain in the arse.

Cool. I am looking at doing the same job in a month or so.

Rick,
I'll be shipping the 22mm swaybar next week, just as soon as I receive the funds.

What size torsions are you running front/rear?

It's neat to hear that you're making strides on the suspension upgrades!

Cheers,

My torsion bars are stock for now. I thought I would upgrade shocks and sways first and then torsion bars after I get some seat time. After taking the car for a spin today it really feels much better than the 108,000 mile Boges they replaced. MMastro I was hoping the funds would have been there today but apparently not. That's O.K. as I have time and when I receive the bar I will clean and paint it before installing.

Rick,
Check arrived today! bar/bushings will go out monday on my lunch hour.

Good job! I'll be doing the same project this fall except that I'm using Boge struts in the front.

rfuerst911sc...dude why are you having all the fun by yourself ? PM me and I can lend a wrench on your bar bushing install. It will be practice for mine next.

Seeeu911 PM has been sent I can use the help.
