I'm curious what the torque specs are too. I just put them in bubba tight and plan to check them after a couple hundred miles. Remeber to mount the rears boot down!
Uh oh! This has been discussed before and almost get's as passionate as 'what oil to use' debates. I had planned to go boots up
LMAO...I know. But once I got the shocks I took a closer look at them. First, I agree, Bilstein wouldn't put there name on a shock that gets mounted and reads upside down. Secondly, if you look at the black boot, the drain holes for it are on the side thats at the end of the shock, not in the middle. Meaning if it was boot up, water and such would sit inside the boot. With the boot down, the water will and debris will drain and Bilstein reads correctly.
