Thanks again Rob (as usual). I checked the site but everything I looked at came out more expensive than the set on Ebay. Am I missing something? (as usual).

www.eshocks.com has a set of 4 for $326. probably wouldn't hurt contacting one of the site sponsors here, someone probably has a great price on a set. especially with a full day left in that auction they might go up another $25 or so and end up equal in price.

I know www.stealthperf.com has the SLP Level 1 suspension kit for only $640, but that's the whole entire kit, plus Bilsteins, if you ever thought about that....

I'd post in the Autocross/RR section. You can also ask Sam Strano for a recommendation on suspension setups...he's the resident expert in the autocross section.

If you're thinking of front shocks, now's the time to consider springs. They have to come out to do the shocks so...

Ahhh, didn't read his sig. My bad. It's an old age thing.

In that case I'd use Koni SA's instead of the Bilsteins.

Why Koni's??? I heard Bilsteins worked good with the Eibachs.

Prices may have gone up since I got mine (they were ~$300).

A re-valved Bilstein works fine with the Pro's and they work fine in the rear, but marginal in the front. I like the additional firmness of the Koni's and being able to adjust the rebound to get rid of the floating motion.
