Looks great! I’ve been trying to decide between 1.8 and 1.2. I don’t want to stress the spring too much but going to the eibach spring with an automatic 3 in lift is too much for me. I wasn’t sure if I’d be happy with 1.2 but it looks perfect here! Is it the tire size? What size are these if you don’t mind?

5100's installed front and rear on my RWD '20. I set the snap-rings in the middle position on the the front shocks. I haven't measured yet but that should give a 1.5" lift, which appears to be what I now have. The ride quality is vastly improved.

I wish I could find some. I'm ready...or Bilstein 6112 for the front.
Looks nice.

I got mine from a place called Jack It, thanks to google. They shipped immediately. The Bilstein packaging was very beat up but all the parts seemed to be ok.

How long ago did you order from them? Their website doesn't indicate stock levels.

Hey guys, got a question . . .
When you pick any one of the five positions, do the struts "settle" after a little while and become slightly less than what each position is listed at?

Thanks. Went ahead and placed an order. We'll see what happens.
I didn't get a "shipped" notification from them after a couple days and worried maybe they didn't really have them in stock. So I called, and learned they had shipped them already.
