they do make them for our car you can get them from this site MantaPart Performance but i just recently asked about this company and i guess its hit or miss with them if and when you get your parts... some people got them right away, and others not for a few months (parts in general from them).. also note that i beleve the springs on them are like 550lbs on the front, which would be a pretty damn ruff ride on city streets any where, and not sure what the backs are though
I have pictures if you want of the coil over set up sold from that site..

Bilstein does not have an application for the 3rd gen. Mantapart has found a strut/shock combo that works with the Jbody. Also you get to pick your spring rates with Mantapart's coilovers.

Just order COD

This is true but same goes for Koni shocks, hence why you have to cut up your old shocks for konis to work




alright here they are, i got these pictures from some one who was selling them, so any questions of how good they are and such i couldnt help yea there

Back


Front (i think they say the shaft on the fronts just over 1" thick, thats huge for our cars[b/]

yeah mantapart gets shocks from bilstein then custom mods them to fit a 3rd gen. from what I understand

bilsteins are supposedly unmatched with their superior quality.

I fail to see why you brought back a thread almost a year old, only to reply to yourself.
