the car caught fire in the engine bay and burned them up im guessing since they werent on the car... also I found that they are actually bilstein f4-be3-2669 shocks with intrax 10-060 rear 242 springs. does anyone know what intrax springs match the rears I have or what other brand springs would match these and also the same for the bilstein shocks. Im nervous I just wasted some money...

maybe try bilstien struts, with a set of springs to match the rear then use a diy coil over kit

ok people I finally got the downpipe to cat gasket today and tried to get this installed. I ran into a problem... I took out the air box so I could get to the cat bolts easier but the 3rd bolt on the bottom is in a horrible spot!!! I couldnt figure out any way to get it undone. Idk if Im going at this the correct way. It seems like I should just cut the damn thing and use the stock sleeve and make this easy. Whats the advantage of using the borla down pipe? Its the same ID as the stock so i cant imagine it being any different right? Correct me if im wrong please!

YGPM.

That's why I suggested removing the cat/downpipe as one piece through the top of the engine bay. Much easier that way.
