Identifying your strut tube

The four EMPI strut insert variants for these chassis differ by (1) inner vs. outer threaded strut tube, (2) damper setting (2015/755 vs. 1505/1160), and (3) Euro vs. US version. Confirm the configuration on your car before ordering — using the wrong insert is the most common mistake on these chassis.

About Bilstein B8

The B8 is Bilstein's monotube design valved for shortened-stroke applications. On a lowered air-cooled Porsche, B8 prevents the bottoming and topping issues you'd otherwise get with a stock-length B6, while still delivering Bilstein's signature damping quality.

Learning curve - but super fun
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher with Squeaking Handle, Size: One-Size
Okay- don’t get me wrong I know how to use a chuck it. But the handle of this has a squeaker - which is fantastic to get my ADHD dog to focus! Buuttt beware- it will take off your fingernail if you aren’t holding it properly when throwing. I learned that the hard way. Twice.

BUY IT!!
Color: Blue Dog Ball Launcher, Size: One-Size
Great product!! Releases the ball nicely and saves my arm from dying at the end of the day. The construction of it feels flimsy but for someone who uses it AT LEAST 3 hours EVERYDAY, I would say it's pretty good quality. Would highly recommend!!

Great quality and folding it in half is a plus. Fits under a seat in car/truck.
Purchased another, as we need one in each car. This is a great ball thrower, especially as it folds in a half. Makes it easy to store under a car/truck seat. Haven’t had any problem with it, great quality!

Fantastic throwing aid!
Very well made, great quality and doesn't feel cheap at all. It's thick, not flimsy or fragile so you can really swing it to launch a ball. Saves my body that I don't have to bend over to pick up the ball anymore, and saves my shoulder that I don't have to hurl the ball anymore. Another bonus is you don't have to touch a slobbered, soggy ball, or a ball covered in dirt. The foldable design is fantastic because I walk everywhere with my dog and don't want to carry around a long stick that's awkward to hold. This folds down small enough that I can securely put it in the back pocket of my jeans without worrying about it falling out. The thing I love most about it is there's a elastic loop at the end so when you fold it you can latch it securely. This small detail is outstanding because I can also hang it on the strap of my sling bag and with the loop secured it will not slip off the strap. This product is so well made and thought out overall.

Excellent toy for play
My dog would play all day if I threw the ball to him. He loves this even though he's 12. The scooped end allows you to pick up the ball without touching it. After a few runs it's covered in dog slobber. So that's a major plus for me! Also, some health issues affect my walking and bending at times. This helps with the bending. This is a great game to play with your favorite friend!
