i think it was a promotion that ebay had going on during like the black friday whatever. It may still be going on, i'm not sure.

as said previously, I'd rather support a CL sponsor/vendor and hopefully influence more GB's in the future.

I agree with you. I would rather throw my money towards a company that has done a lot for CL and that contributes towards our sense of community, even if its a little extra.

So which one is better for stock shocks on a 98 GS400 with 56k miles on it? DF or GF? I dont think the shocks have been changed out yet. The car was passed down to me from my parents so I dont know if theyve been changed. This car is 10 years old so what should I do?

I am very insterested however in gettin some Tanabe springs. If the price is right, then I am definitely in!

Ok guys, getting a little closer here. I have been asked to just get all details finalized, and then post in the vendor section.

Anyways, the springs have different MSRP's and we wanted to try and get a blanket price going if possible)

If its possible for MPlexus501 to do, could you guys please edit your posts with EXACTLY what spring you want and for EXACTLY what model, then he can edit the original list.

Lets get it together for the 2GS guys before we bring anyone else on board. That way you guys are guaranteed from day 1!!

After 10 years and 50+k miles, those shocks need to be replaced regardless. The springs are going to blow them out quicker, so I'd say get the Tanabe's and some struts just to be on the safe side (and save double labor on getting stuts installed later)
