Working on getting Saab shocks for the rear and shortened e36 shocks for the front so I can get a bit further down.

Btw, ford ranger shocks work well. I have the 95 front ford ranger bilstiens and it will get you low... I'm rubbing my wheel wells now....

[MikeyRa]

Any model '95 Ranger fronts?

[chompsticks]

Yep! Check out my build thread. There's a post about it in there. The only thing you have to do is take the metal sleeve from the bottom of the shock out of the original and put it in the new one. I believe anyone will work as long as you don't pick one out for a lifted ranger.

24-022361 that's what I got to match the fronts.
That little round metal sleeve is what you need out of your old shock.

[MikeyRa]

Those look like the Bilstien 4600's. Sweet, I my pick up a set tomorrow. I think for the front, I am just going to use R129 upper mounts.

[chompsticks]

Yep, there are tons of different sets available too. Since I'm static I'm not going to bother with my fronts. I'm rubbing already but not to a point that I'd destroy my fenders.

This past week, so many things have tried to keep me from SoWo, but all is good now. Engine air pump failed, valve cover decided to fill my plug holes with oil, fan clutch locked up, plug wire ripped, vacuum lines disintegrated, fuel line busted, and a tie rod end went out.

Managed to get it all taken care of and should be leaving for SoWo tomorrow afternoon.

Beautiful benz except it sounds like it has automotive leprosy.

[MikeyRa]

Thanks! I figure I'll give this car some leeway, I mean, she is getting up in her years.
