Nice! Keep me posted on them I know we have talked about them for a while now. I put rears on this past weekend (then the wife's back went out ). So right now I am rocking the RS7000MT monotubes up front and the adjustable 9000's in the rear. Going over expansion joints, etc, I can feel the difference for sure. Front is a firmer absorption and the rear is definitely softer. I will get the fronts on after SEMA.... when it is snowing.

Anybody in the same boat should contact him before the 31st!

Will do bro, thanks for your input here and emails. They're in que, after the front axle seal so it will be later than sooner! And I've had a VW bus consuming my spare garage time lately....

Ordered mine today. I forgot how bad the roads in Mississippi are. Hopefully these will fix the ride. I'm excited!

Silver? Weren't they white before? Aren't the Bilsteins silver? Personally, I'd prefer black.
