You'll find something like this:



Wait a minute... It didn't rain last night...



Mmm.. brown fluid... Looks like shock fluid to me.

And I was planning on NOT ******* with my car today.

WTB: One ITR rear shock.

Bummer! How old are the shocks on the car now?

Canuk_SiR

didn't you notice the bad shock while driving?
You can see the shock body is drenched in that second pic

kKdARIAN

ugh, that sucks' what kinda shocks are those?

SkyeC

Yeah, I've been experiencing some unexpected "snap oversteer" at autoxes over the past couple months that was totally un-correctable.

Oh well. Roughly 1.5-2 years at 3.5" to 2" of lowering and GC coil-overs finally killed 'em, I guess. I should've been less retarded previously and not been into "slamming" my car. =-) It's at 2" or so right now.

They're 00 USDM ITR shocks. The shocks are not completely covered in fluid so that they turned black, lol.

I have enough money to get Bilstein Sports for the rear, but you need different GC sleeves for Bilsteins and Konis, which I think is another $70/sleeve.

...And my Azenis are getting towards the end of their lifespan, as well. Suck.

Must have broke it driving to Bellevue. Just kidding.

Thanks SkyeC for dropping the exhaust off. I still need to install it, Dan Fast said they would prefer to do it saturday, lazy bastards...

They do some shitty work. I had them do a 2.5" header-back on my car once upon a moon. Well, they didn't have 2.5" donuts so they did a flex-pipe deal, the welds BLEW, the 2.5" cat they supplied me with DIED within a few months and they wouldn't warranty it so I told them to go **** themselves, their 2.5" piping was bent with the skill of a trained monkey so I went back to my smaller but more effective GReddy SP, they wanted to put a tip on my Thermal 2.5" muffler I was using, almost refusing to leave it tipless and wanted me to buy a $50 ugly *** tip, hell no, I had to go out there and show the welder how to set it up right so I didn't need a tip, etc.

**** Dan Slow *** Mufflers.

Whoa, do you know who did your exhaust?

They did a 2.5" catback on my 00 Turbo Golf, flawless. I had them do a 2.25" catback on my 01 Impreza RS and they did an awesome job with that as well. Most recently they did a 2.5" headerback w/ high flow cat and resonator that is really nice. Magnaflow stainless steel muffler, magnaflow hiflow cat, it sounds really nice, performs well and the bends look awesome.

Sorry ot hear about such a shitty experience yo.

I'll make sure not to look under my car !

I dunno. It was probably 2 years ago. All in all a bullshit experience.

whoDAT

i too am using the same set up. well at least i know how long i should expect out of my itr struts to last w/ a 3" drop. on another note...$70/sleeve?!?! would you need all four sleeves for the koni yellows?

SkyeC

I'm pretty sure that's how much it is. I'll call GC tomorrow.

Quik89Si

I know it's only $40 extra when you buy the GC's new....for example, regular GC's are $299, the ones with Bilstein and/or Koni adaptors (possibly the same ones for either) are $339.

SkyeC

You can't even see a brake line in the picture.

And I looked, it's the shock.
