Well since I can no longer do write-ups because I don't have a 929, I have been doing some research on what shocks from another car will fit the 92-95 929. Tomorrow if it does not rain I will go back to the junk yard in order to test my hypothesis...
If the shocks from said car does fit the 929 at the junk yard then this will mean that you 92-95 929 guys can replace you shocks for $77 each brand new from discount auto...

I'll let you guys know... don't ask me what car/make the shocks are from .if everything works out i'll let you guys know..

well last night I was going back to uni, I stopped at the drivethru and this damned homeless guy stumbles over to the eunie and the drivethru window, and starts pestering the guy for food, and is grabbing as he passes me the food. he has this hugeass bottle of beer, and then as i'm rolling up my window the ******* keeps knocking at it asking for a favour... then heres where the **** hits the fan, the ******* spills his beer all over the eunie's DS fender and on the hood.........!!!!!!!!

i so wanted to get out and kick his ass but mommy was there... (she takes the eunie back home after I drive myself to school ... so he staggers out in front of the eunie, and I turn on my brights and lean on the horn... he acts all stupid and then stumbles off to the side and falls down; so but anyway, 5 minutes later when I get to school and I'm madly wiping the paint and apologising profusely to the eunie, and she's like "its just beer " GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

I hope the test goes well since too many things on this car are way too expensive.

Good work saint. And I don't even own a 929 of that vintage. Hope it works out. I cringe everytime I hear the price of those struts.

We're all waiting with bad...er...I mean baited breath. Well except me, since I paid a gazillion dollars for dealership replacements. Timing is not a forte of mine.

Hats off to ya, Saint for looking out for the Nine community even in your post-Ninedom.
