Re: any sugested shocks for 2003
I installed my new front bilstens today, they went in real easy, The torque specs are a little confusing. there is one table and I think it's for the larger bottom bolt, I don't know how much to tighten the top nut. Is it a judgement call? just tight enough to squeeze the bushings a little. any info would be greatly appreciated

Re: any sugested shocks for 2003
Yeah, I wouldn't torque the top nut. Just tighten enough to snug it up and compress the bushing a little. You dont want to smash that bushing too much! I run Bilsteins on eveything I have! Even on the old '59.
