Default Ordering Bilstein 5100's

I'm going to be purchasing these on friday, but have a couple questions. First when ordering from shockwarehouse it says 146.99 each. Is that for the price of one shock or both? Also I have a 12v makita impact w/ a full set of sockets, will the 12v be enough to break the stock bolts loose w/ a bunch of pb on em. What other tools are needed to install these in my garage. Thanks for the input guys!

Have you checked ajusa.com? I got all 4 for somewhere around 350 I think, free shipping. They are a vendor here and I believe offer a forum member discount.

Wasn't really looking to spend money for the rears, don't see the point IMO. Mostly buying them for the leveling aspect and to be able to fit 35's.

I got my apart with an 18v makita and a sawzall on one. It was kinda rough but the 18v took everything that wasnt seized off like that..

Also get the rears. Makes the ride great.

Heh well plans have changed just like everything else. Now i'm going w/ the HBS level. It's more in the price range for me and I'm confident w/ getting them installed. Ordering tonight once my direct deposit goes through and will be taking pics before and after the install. I guess I need to change the thread title as well.. :/
