Shoxs.com

I wanted to order 2 front blisten struts only thing is that would be a special order seeing that they only sell 4. He wants me to give him my card info is this a good idea? I heard some good things about shoxs.com but this is alittle risky..

Re: Shoxs.com

They seem to be the real deal, I contacted them for supplying for my small business on the side and they sent me a whole bunch of catalogs of all the manufacturers they carry.

I get a discount by the way, if you want send me a PM and I will get you a price on what you are looking for.

SA3GO Performance is the name of my small company. I usually sell tires on the side so I can buy.... Third Gens and Third Gen stuff.

PM me for more info if you are interested.

Re: Shoxs.com

last time I had checked, believe it or not Autozone had the front bilsteins at the best price... You might want to compare pricing before buying

Wow, the website really does show that... specifically, $338.99! I wonder what happened? I just bought them last summer, and they were $179 each, and they'd been that price for years.

I guess someone at AZ foundout everyone else sells them for about $300 each, so they jumped on the bandwagon. Oh well, when they never sell another one, maybe they'll realize they blew it.

Yes, AZ sells the rear shocks, both HD and Sport. They're $89 per shock.

Thanks. Wow $338.99 per strut that adds up quick. Any suggestions for a replacement that just as good as the Bilstiens?

I bought a set of Koni Yellows & a set of Eibach springs as a packaged deal from shox.com and it went smoothly.

Re: Shoxs.com

I ran them on their softest settings that summer to break them in - the ride is firm, but not jarring (and Winnipeg roads are infamous for being awful).

Definitely a world of difference from the tired, stock pieces they replaced. My fear of driveways is pretty much gone.... I celebrated by buying a NOS airdam.

Re: Shoxs.com

I recieved my bilsteins last friday in great condition boxes were not beaten to hell which is common... Struts were new and the price was 225 dollars less then Auto Zone. I would recommend shoxs.com to everyone who loves there ride.
