I want Bilsteins, where to get them?

geronimo-70 · 04-14-2003, 01:00 AM

Can I get a reasonable price on these? How about $500 for all four shocks and struts. I want to go coilover soon, and I think these are superior to the Koni's or Tokiko's. I dont want to be adjusting all the time. Please give me your opinions. The car will be street driven mostly, but occasional 1/4 mile. I dont corner hard or drive stupid on the street, so will I be better served by a drag suspension? Going fast in a straight line will be the main purpose. I like my low ride height, but dont know how it was lowered (prev. owner) , but it rides worse than my 3/4 ton truck. So I guess I want a low-rider with soft drag suspension, is that possible?If not I will deal with it sitting up higher.

The Bilsteins will definitely improve the ride quality, I replaced my rears with them and it just feels that much better, also if I get on it from a stop on rough pavement, it no longer feels like a pogo stick that's out of control, it actually has some control now.

Out of control pogo stick! Awesome description. You cant punch it on a rough road, or the rear axle will surely fly out from under it. Now where did you buy them from? I want fronts too, can I get a good deal on all 4?

I got mine slightly used from an autocrosser who went to coil-overs and a watts link on his cobra replica, I believe that he got them from Western motorsports in Calgary, Alberta, you'll probably find a better price down there somewhere.
