Bilstein Shocks/Struts 94-04 Like NEW

I have a set of 4 Bilstein Shocks/Struts for any 94+ Mustang. This setup cost me $800+ and have under 2000 Kilometers on them! They still look brand new. I want to go with drag shocks now. This setup handles great! They eliminated my wheelhop when I lowered the Cobra too. Asking half what I paid, $400 Firm. They are still on the Cobra and will not be removed until payment is made. Located in Port Colborne, Can ship for $20.

Sorry this is not related to the sale, but man you got BURNED on the price. I got my Bilsteins for $300.00, front and rear brand new from the dealership (03 cobra OEM replacement)

ya me too i got 03/04 shocks and struts from a cobra for my car and it was a grand total of like 400 bucks, and these arent universal bilsteins, they were specifically valved for the 03/04 cobra.

How much different are they from the Mach 1 setup? I'm running the Mach 1 Tokiko shocks in the back, haven't touched the front yet but it's due for an upgrade.

There was a pricing error on the 03 Cobra Bilsteins when they first came out. Take a look at the price Ford sells them for now, they corrected it. I purchased the components at stangsuspension.com

Also, the 03 Cobra suspension is valved differently. OEM struts from Bilstein are geared more toward comfort than performance, they also dont come with a lifetime warranty.

Also, these shocks are SOLD.

They are also valved for the Cobra and not the GT, very important with the IRS vs. live axle.

I figured the price would go up once Ford figured that people would know they could get them as OEM's much cheaper!

Very easy and straightforward. Some bolts will be real tight and you would need a johnson bar. With a Jack and Airtools I changed all four Shocks/Struts in under and hour. With hand tools look at 2 hours. The entire job is only 10 bolts.

Not if you have an IRS. It's a lot more complicated.

03's sig pic shows a 96 Cobra but the name is different so I donno what you're driving.

When did the IRS start on the cobra's?
