The shocks were only $40 a piece, and they’re Bilstein’s, which have an absolutely silly lifetime warranty

Is that all? You should have seen the insane prices for Bilsteins when I was prepping the E21 for autocrossing. I think the struts and shocks were about $150/corner.

I sold the car to a friend that wanted to restore it to stock suspension, and I agreed to a lower price if he gave back all of the shocks, struts and springs (I agreed to leave the polyurethane bushings and sway bars). The idiot pulled out the struts by applying locking pliers to the chrome shaft in the middle of the strut, completely destroying them, so then I don’t have the money or resellable parts. Dumbass didn’t know how much those things were worth and fucked them up through sheer laziness and not giving a rat’s ass. Oh, and he’s an A&P that works on commercial aircraft - you have been warned.

He didn’t like my sheepskin seat covers, but changed his tune when he found out that they were over $100 each. And the Momo steering wheel wasn’t his favorite, but once presented with the $250 receipt he started liking it. Fucker.
