Default Rear shock gone again!?!
Ok, that's it for the B+G coilovers. This is the third one that blew. Yes I do live in Boston and yes there are potholes, but this is ridiculous. Not sure what exactly is going on here, but I'm throwing in the towel.

I was on record here somewhere sometime with a mild endorsement. Want to amend that to a mild discouragment. Would not suggest. This last shock has shown me the light. I so wish I had just gone Bilstein/H&R.

All that being said anyone have a slightly used set they need to get off of? I'm looking to do this before it gets too cold out to do the work myself! Looking for Bilsteins with adjustable height and H&R springs.

Last of all...is it hadn't been for the sheer joy of quattro just a couple short days ago and no payment, this might have pushed me to look around.
