Hey, install went fine except that Bilstein washers supposedly do not fit well. One bad run at putting on the top nut stripped it but it's only the top half. The shop tightened it towards the bottom where there are still threads - with an impact gun but properly. I had concerns about the shocks as well but he seemed confident in their condition. Worst case scenario, you're paying 1/3rd of the price of new and may have to have 1 shock serviced.
