Default Anyone have expierence with the Blauparts shock kit

Hi folks,

I'm looking at purchasing and installing the Enhanced Shock Absorber Kit from Blauparts and was hoping some of you might have some feedback on it? Quality of parts, etc...

Thanks

The kit is complete and will provide an affordable stock like ride.

Not much else to say really.

That kit isn't quite complete IIRC...it's missing upper rear shock mounts. Check with Blau for what else you could use in the expanded kit.

The enhanced kit does have rear shock mounts, it is a complete kit.
