installed bilstein shocks....WOW

I noticed this exact thing on a few websites while looking for shocks for my car. I spent a few weeks attempting to cross reference the Monroe part #'s with bilsteins and was unable to find something exact.

The Electra and Riviera share front shock part numbers but the rears are totally different.

Hey I just noticed you are here in Sacramento too! What part of town do you live?

 

ha over by Rio linda side off Norwood actually close to arco and Bell

 

oh wow
I used to live in Rio Linda when I was little but our house flooded and then burned down in 1986.
I live in Citrus heights over by Sunrise mall now.

 

add my kudos to the mix - I've had them on my ragtop for over a year and definitely an impressive improvement over the KYB's which preceded them. Diligent online shopping will save you major $$ :grin:

 

Here you go:

Snucks, I will keep my eyes peeled for a black top white electra, do you ever go to any of the local car shows in our area ,

 

Nothing on there for a 68 Riv ,

 

Hi I live in New Zealand and have a 67 Riviera and want to lower it by 2" and replace shocks with Blistein can anyone give me the part number's so I can try to get them here? The options are by sea witch takes six weeks they won't air freight .

Thanks Matt

 

New question : Do I need to change the length of the shocks if I lower It 2" front and fear ?

Matt

 

Just got my Bilstein front shocks...get to put them in this weekend.

 

No! Not more Sacramentans? :laugh:

 

:gp:

 

I notice they list they have parts for the Buick 442. ????????

 

http://www.bmrsuspension.com/?page=p...d=43&catid=241 Thats this link they list for the Buick 442, It doesnt look like they have anything for the Riv.
I have ordered the Jamco susension catalog. They have no pics of the Bilstiens they offfer for 94 bucks. That seems cheap for Bilstiens

 

huehuehue
what part of town you stay in?

 

Call this place and ask to speak to the owner regarding Buick parts

He for sure has the Bilsteins you need for your car.

 

prepare to be wowed

 

no.
My car is dropped 2.5 up front and who knows how much its sagged in the rear and they fit fine.

 

I took the top and the stainless trim off of the roof so now its all white. I will be installing the new vinyl after I get it painted though.

No I haven't been to any car shows. I tried to get into the Midnight mass but was told to leave because they wouldn't allow dogs.....wtf

I heard there is a Buick club that meets in North Highlands near McClellan on Saturday mornings but I have never been there.

 

I installed Bilsteins on my Silverado which prompted me to install them on 65 RiviGS with new H2 spec coils, already have a set ordered for my other GS Riv. I've heard the Koni may be better but I cannot image how.
