|
|
ok, so i bought a used set of coilovers from a member on here.
went to install them last night and had to fix some things.
the fronts are good to go but both of the rear shocks have bushings that are completely blown.
so i took of the stock shocks and compared, it looked like the stock bushing would prob fit, took the parts to a shop to have them pressed out and installed in the coilovers, and they call me this morning and tell me theyre not gonna fit. WTF. they couldve just told me last night so i wasnt without a car for 2 fkin days.
called the only Authorized B&G Dealer in IL and they said they dont stock that stuff, they told me i could call B&G and if i could get a part number for it then they could order it, but thats about it. so im gonna try calling them in a couple hours.
but if that doesnt work, what are my other options. i wanna get these on ASAP cuz the front is slammmmed all the way and the backs gonna be stock shocks with s-techs for now which is gonna look goofy as hell. lol
so just wondering if anyone know any suspension shops (Chicago land area) or online retailers where i can get the parts i need.
Thanks |

None of their dealers are going to stock that bushing. Give them a call at 1.800.420.9555 or 858.547.9555 and have them get you a part number for the replacement parts that you need. They will either sell it to you directly or refer you to a dealer to push the papers and complete the transaction.
Even though it will look odd you will be ok with running the s-techs in the rear until the new bushings show up.
Sorry to hear about that. Good luck and let us know what happens. |
