Well from what I can tell there are at least 3 different part numbers for the same shock. It appears the manufacturer has changed numbers several times for whatever reason. These are also my second set of front shocks. The first time I asked for the newest latest part number and went on to say...

I do kind of like the extra height at the front. If I added a 1" spacer in the back that should give me the look I was originally going for. I haven't been able to find 1" rear coil spacers. The only ones I've found are 1.5" If I stay less than 3" of lift in the front the alignment should...

Thanks for the input. However, the shock is not assembled incorrectly. The spring perch it oriented the correct way, I didn't put it on upside down. Also, the stackup of spacers at the top of the shock is also correct. I'm very methodical with my work, doing one side at a time so I always have...

This weekend I set out to replace my stock xreas suspension on my 2004 sport edition with a set of Bilstein 5100's. At 181k miles I figured the stock shocks had to be getting a little tired. While I was at it I figured I might as well replace the ball joints and sway bar links to tighten...

I’m hoping this set of Xtreme Ride Components calipers will help with my frozen caliper issues. I replaced my factory caliper about 1.5 years ago after finding several pistons frozen. I bought an aftermarket caliper for replacement and just over a year later I have sticking and frozen piston...

I think the casting number was WH13 if I'm not mistaken.

I'm originally from WV so when I go home there's a lot of hilly, twisty roads and sustained driving on these roads (i drive kinda fast too) I'd experiance really bad brake fade as the brakes would over heat. I also felt that the stopping power was kind of weak under normal driving conditions if...

They had the calipers in stock and I paid about $170 for the pair with my core return of the old calipers. Core return saved about $50.

Right now they don't stop very well at all. I'd have to say they're much worse than stock pads and rotors. They get very hot too for light urban driving. I imagine this is all due to not being bed in yet. They do look nice but the black anodizing has to be worn off on the rotor surface for the...

This weekend I installed a complete set of EBC sport rotors and green stuff pads. The upgrade went pretty easy until I couldn’t compress the frozen pistons in my front calipers. I ended up having to purchase new calipers which I picked up at Advance Auto. I didn’t want the bother of rebuilding...
