From what I read you will love your new Bilsteins.
China could really use some as I keep the trunk loaded with about 400-500 pounds of tools and parts.
The hardest part for me on the rear shock replacement was getting the two top nuts off of the shock and keep the piston shaft from rotating. Seems like it is 7mm, but a small wrench just can't hold it, so I had to use a slightly larger adjustable wrench.
Nice job and enjoy the shocks, and enjoy a successfully completed project.
