Best Deals on Bilsteins?

Anybody out there know of any places to get a good deal on Bilsteins? I finally have all the other suspension parts ready to go and have been saving to bite the bullet on the shocks and struts.

I found that Vette Brakes had good prices on them. Both my dad and I bought our Bilsteins from them.

I got my front struts from Vettebrakes too. They came withing a week. I got the rear sport shocks from www.carparts.com and used a coupon. I didnt see the sport shocks listed on the vettebrakes site, just the HD ones. But anyways, after the coupon and with shipping, it was still cheaper then getting the HD shocks from VB.

The grand total with shipping came out to be $387.

I'm interested in getting Bilstein struts and shocks as well. I went to the Vette Brakes but didn't see any 82-92 Camaro front struts by Bilstein. Did I overlook it, or do they not carry them anymore? Also, when I went to carparts.com, there are two Bilstein sport shocks, but they don't tell you anything about either of them really. What is the difference? (Besides the price) The addy is http://www.carparts.com/parts/newsea...toidsearch=YES


Thanks for any and all help

Try www.horsepowerstore.com They don't have them on their home page but if you call them they can set you up. They are running a special right know for $399.

I bought an 85 IROC a couple of years ago and this site has been very useful. I put a set of Bilstein's and Eibach on it and it handles great. I can sell the Bilstein to you guys for $393.60 for the set of 4. This price is a straight 40% off list. Eibach for $191.40 which is 40% off list.

What about Koni Yellow's MR. Shox?

Also, can you get H&R springs?

Call me or email me on these prices. Since I'm not a paid advertiser on this site yet it wouldn't be right to continue posting prices.
