RE:  Bilstein Shocks
The discussion of Bilstein shocks has held my attention because I just put
Bilsteins on my '90 Westy and love them, see my report a couple of weeks
ago.
If you go to the Bilstein web page and use their search engine you will get
a listing for the Vanagon that only shows the HD shocks. (The same page also
shows shocks for the Bus).  I got curious because eshocks.com shows a
Touring shock and a HD shock for the Vanagon.  So I downloaded the ,pdf
catalog file on the Bilstein site and in that they show both a touring and
HD shock.  I have the HD as listed in the Van Cafe catalog,  purchased from
them and the rears installed by them.  I notice that Bus Depot only lists
the part number for the Bilstein Touring shocks.  Go figure.
