Unfortunately, shipping alone will be around 200 dollars one way, which makes it cheaper to buy new ones.
It may however be a good option for someone who lives in CA.

For now - I orderer 2 new rear Bilstein HDs, front engine mount insert and some other goodies.

Alex, I am getting close to doing something with my struts...especially the rears. I am interested in knowing if you have installed the heavy duty Bilsteins, and if so, what do you think of the ride quality.

Thanks
