Another Suspension Kit thread

[V-Rod]

So here we go, I simply wanted to start my car and break it out of hibernation and now it's going in the shop for new tires and some kind of suspension kit.

I contacted a nearby Porsche specialist and was impressed by his shop and the vehicles he is currently working on. Some cost nearly as much as I paid for my house.

I am really confused...what suspension? which parts? He did assume and highly recommend Bilstein shocks as if there were no other choice at his shop. He read off a whole long list of parts and said $3600 parts and labor...

I need to see the list and make some decision...but he said he could get it in and have it done when I get back from a two week business trip. I am so tempted.

This is a stock 99 base with 17"s that has not been raced and will not be seeing track, but will be seeking on and off ramps without slowing down.

I need to get it right without breaking the bank.

I am open to suggestions and please point out the gotchas and don't forget this!
