Cheapest place to get SPORTLINES ?

besides ebay, Tire rack has them for 230 including shipping. The guy said i would also need the mount kit and some other kind of bolts to help the alignment.

So where is the cheapest place to by these springs.

Yes i saw them there. It looks like they are all pretty much running the same everywhere. Cardomain was 240., tirerack the cheapest at 230 an that includes the shipping.

Funny the guy said not to get poly bushing cause they will squeak after it rains and the lube washes off.

He also suggest i buy these two bolt kits for 11 bucks each. and optional is a upper mount kit... 69 bucks each...woah whats the deal ? Do i need all this stuff ?

All i have to do is get these springs and shocks on the car. Then some brake work and the BIRD ROLLS AGAIN. :lala:

The poly will sueak, but the lube doesn't wash off all that easy. The upper strut mounts are a good idea, but you can get those from any parts store for about $35 ea.

Don't believe the HYPE!!

Jegs and summit also have them for around 220 or so. The only other way to get them cheaper would be to avoid shipping and handeling by buying them from a local shop. I saved about $20 or so that way.

Okay, I'm just going to go ahead and get it all, since we're doing it, might as well do it right.

Now this squeeking issue. Should i just go with rubber ones?

Another question now that I've found a set of Bilsteins for 419.00
Do i get the sports or the HD's?

and i see that Koni reds arent that much more expensive, Should i go with the Koni;s or are Bilstiens better for this setup.?

Bilsteins all the way!! And if you are worries about squeeking, get polygraphite. Or just keep the poly urethanes greased. You should grease everything every oil change anyway.

If you get Sportline springs, and want to go with Spohn, you have to go w/ the Spohn Sport struts... the other will not give enough clearance

sellmanb, can you elaborate on that? Are you saying standard struts (i.e. Bilsteins) will not fit if you install lowering springs?
