    Trying to source bilsteins

    Hey yall, I recently bought a set of the eibach pro kit springs and I need a set of shocks to match, I am looking at the bilstein B8s. I rang a place called Michael Weber Prestige & Performance in brissy who stock konis and bilsteins and they quoted a price of around $1300 plus $300 to fit the springs and shocks, that seemed a bit steep to me. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a place in Oz or abroad that I can get them cheaper, I was thinking $1000 shipped. I am also willing to buy second hand as long as they are in good condition. Cheers guys

    I bought some Eibach Pro Kit from aus and I've just bought Bilstein B8 shocks from ECS tuning for 600US plus about 200US shipping. Which is under $900AU at the moment. I'm planning to fit them myself so no install cost.

    I got my shocks from the US for $780AU delivered within 2 weeks from here: http://www.eshocks.com

    $300 to fit them is probably about right, this would likely include a wheel alignment too.

    Give Brian at GTI imports in Syd a call. He seems to be able to get Bilsteins pretty cheap

    Sounds like you're better off going on ECS for around $700US shipped, that's pretty good.

    yep $700US shipped is a great price, that will definately be under $800AU

    I'm running an ECS GB that you're welcome to participate in (as are the Pogo guys if they're serious and want to act soon!). I'm closing orders at the end of this week, and will be collecting money next week, so get in fast!
    Nothing to see here...

    Hey guys thanks for the speedy replies and helpful tips, I am currently awaiting a reply email from eshocks.com. Hey manaz How much would I be looking at spending if I bought the shocks through your group buy? I have the funds ready so that's no drama
