I would think EVS would have the courtesy to blur their customers plates too.

I'm throwing out my old H&R coilovers unless someone wants them. 70K miles on the parts, both rear shocks squeak like hell. I kinda want to keep the bump stops, but I don't mind throwing them in if someone wants them. One of the dust boots is torn as well. IMO these are garbage, but figured I would check. No top hats either.

I believe both springs are specifically designed for the coilover kit, for sure the rear is. Rears wont fit at the base, see pic.

Front is on the left, rear is on the right. Front spring does fit the OEM shock base. Shocks are OEM in the pic.

I'll also include the span wrenches and original documentation, H&R plate frame, sticker, etc.

I don't need the bump stops at all, closer look they seem too specific to the kit.

Just replaced all the bushings for the control arms. Replaced top right mount. The noises are gone and it rides like a new car.

Keep in mind the TL engine bay is somewhat tight. You might be looking at a new rad, new slim rad fan, and relocating the coolant overflow tank, or fab'ing a new tank mount.
