Good place to buy Bilsteins

I need a good place to buy bilsteins, either the regular shocks or revalved shocks (to go with Eibach pro kit). I want a good price and good customer service.

Thanks

for regular bilstein HD's go to www.bimmerparts.com i think they should come to about $305-315 depeinding on shipping.

for revalving go to www.stranoparts.com (think that's it), have heard many good things about his revalving.

i think TPIS does revalving too...not sure

Bilsteins

I would recommend Strano. Tell him what you're looking to do - he'll give you an honest opinion without trying to sell you one part or another. Be prepared to wait for the front shocks. Mine were on order for two months before I finally decided to upgrade to Koni SA's - which I'm extremely happy with btw.

For regular Bilstien HD's, www.bimmerparts.com quoted me $166 for the fronts and $135 for the rears for a total of $301 and that price includes shipping.

Hey, thanks guys. I'll talk to each of them. But, what I should have asked first is what should I get, regular or re-valved? I have the Eibach pro kit springs. I got an 1 3/4" + drop in the front, and about an inch drop in the rear. My rears will be alright, but I'll have to get two new front shocks.
Thanks

I know you said you were going to talk to all of them, but I just wanted to chime in about www.shox.com I have bought many times from them over the years and they provide excellent service. A while back I found a place that had struts about $5 cheaper and shox.com gave me $20 more off which was actually $10 cheaper. Good luck.
