Default IIRC stock perches are welded on (front), so no. I wouldn't put them on stock even

if you get the perch off.

I have them on my Bilsteins.

Do you like them? The stock ones would probably last a couple hundred anyways...then toast...

Default I like them. I wouldn't go through the trouble to uninstall & install the stock crap just

to go back in there and do it again in "a few hundred miles" I dread the fact that I have to replace a blown Bilstein. Worst part is I forget which side is the blown one now ;-(

I can't see any oil on the shock body (I think she's plum dry), so I might just get two new Bilsteins and change them both.

Suspension crap is annoying to say the least. Monkey wrestling the compressors is so much fun ;p

Default Yes, they will work. The stocker is removable also. However on the rear I don't know if you are

able to heat up the rear shock and remove the top half like you can on the Bilstein. That would be the only thing that may hold you back.
