Well I've been granted the european liason/distributor/aka the middle man for Bilstein shocks through Stranoparts.com
They set me up a acct and the whole 9. I'm their european connection so to speak after a lengthy conversation last night. I was just placing another order but lead to this. :)

If you guys need shocks there will be a discount. As of now HD are 299.00 and if you want custom they're 450. Bilstein had a surplus and this is the reasoning for the 299. Normally sell for 450 for a set of 4. This price will be going back up shortly (don't have a specific time) so you may wanna jump on this. Their pricing will be 389 for a set of 4 vs 450. Still cheap IMO but not as cheap as say 299.

SO tell all your friends or post it here if you are in the market for shocks I'm your man. ;)

Silas,

Hi Silas
Too right they are a good deal.
I put my order in with Sam 2 weeks ago. I'm still waiting. I believe there is a back order as so many people have ordered them.

Are you getting a further discount on top of the $450 for the four with the front revalved? Let me know and I'll email Sam and ask to match your price.

Cheers

Richard

Nah I didn't even think to ask for a discount. But the shipping is little to nothing. SO that's ok w/ me. Can't wait to get them and roll. It'll be another 2-3 wks for sure but no rush. I've got other things to do 1st.

What options do we have with these shocks? Are they just 50/50 or do they come as 90/10 or 70/30's? Do they have a three way adjustable front shock for my car? Could you find out and let me know. I am in the market for some shocks. Prefer them to be adjustable.
Thanks dude

They can revalve them to any setting you like. THe fronts anyways. The rears will be standard settings from what I understand or based on your spring they'll go from there and provide a different suggestion. You can call them and speak to Sam Jr about specific questions. Then from there tell John Silas is the distro for Europe and you'll be good from there.

V6's included.......:) If you want you could send the money by check or money order to my address. I'll be calling them tonight anyways for some questions myself. I'll be back on the board @ 730 pm. And we can go from there or you can call my home # 06385-99-3150

John, tried calling your house, got some answering machine with some kids crying. So that weird guy on the phone was me. But about the shocks... I need the HDs. Let me know when you need the money. I will be going through there when I go take this tranny to Bitberg, so let me know what would be better. A. putting it in the mail... or B. bringing it by.

Checked with Sam. My springs should be available mid July. Sam is going to send them direct to me in the UK. I need them quick because I'm doing the full suspension job at the end of July.

Thanks for the offer though.
