anybody know where i can get a good deal on a set of bilsteins?

 

I bought mine from eshocks.com. Pretty decent price.

 

thanks ill check them out

 

shox.com

Paid $419 for my shocks and struts.

 

are bilsteins pretty much top of the line?? ive heard really good things about them and the konis?? which ones are the best for my money?

 

Bilsteins are prolly the best non-adj shock you can get.

 

and koni yellows are probably the best off the shelf shock for our cars.

 

i think im gonna run the bilsteins, now theres the spring q. Now theres the spring debate, ive narrowed it down to 2 choices the eibachs or the hotchkis, both lower the car about 1.5in anyone have any input on either of these??

 

I bought Bilstiens from SHOX.com recently ( they happen to be local to me) along with the pro-kit.

The prices on the fronts have gone up dramatically, be prepared..

I like this combo, and am pretty satisfied. however, I really wrestled with the bilstien/Koni question. I changed my mind at the last minute ( while at shox.com) and bought the bilstiens..

I should have listened to the hardcore susupension people on this board - a Koni will control springs better - bottom line -

I was hesitant- because I have Koni's onmy 4th gen and they do ride a little firmer for sure- however it is a higher quality of ride -albeit a little harsh at low speeds, though they have softened quite a bit over time -use.


Bilstiens have an awesome looking shaft, much larger than any of the competition - they are great shocks- but if I had to do it again I would of went with my first choice-Koni - I was just affraid they would ride like crap - to me 17" wheels ,KDW's and bilstien -pro-kit combo rides like crap at low speeds on rough roads - so

it doesn't make much difference - you will gain much more high speed stability /control with the Konis.


I like my Bilstiens, and are not unhappy with them at all- just when I start to go really fast, and want to be aggresive I wish I had bought the koni's.

at 70mph on the freeway , and on onramps and off ramps what I have is good.

Sharp bumps are controlled much better with the koni's- but you still feel the hit - just the car doesn't get off line, or upset as easy as with Bilstiens-
I'm refering to Koni yellows,

Still finding the limits of this set up, definetly handles well- just it doesn't handle sharp bumps well at all - which is spooky at the wrong times - freeway ride is great - which is where I spend most of my time..
