bilstein 5100 before/after measurements

[SureShot516]

Fyi for those it may concern

2005 V8, stock coils 90k front and rear 5100 front set at .85"

Measurement from center of hub to bottom of fender well

Front before 19"
rear before 21"

Front after 20"
rear after 21"

Just what i was hoping for....

All i can say is thank god for a sawzall

Sawzall? What did you have to cut?

Haha. I used an angle grinder! (Just hacked to stock shocks off once I had the coilover out. I don't think I ever would have gotten that top shock bolt off)

 

[SureShot516]

correct top nut on rear shock was rusted/frozen, sawzall took care of that
front damper nut was also frozen, sawzall too care of that as well
