If you are interested in buying Bilstein's, I suggest going to this thread. The group buy is almost underway!

That all depends on what you want. I saw a set of coil overs on vitesse for a reasonable price. http://www.vitessetuning.com/bilstein-pss.asp If you are looking for for something like this you really can't beat this price.

thanks for the reply. i'm looking to buy just bilstein heavy duty shocks, not a coil-over kit.

I looked extensively for shocks for my 318ti- the cheapest I have found was bavarian autosport
Being from Canada, they are had the best price even considering the duty and shipping cost going outside of USA.

Based on what I have previously purchased from Bavauto, they have quick delivery times and you get a good quality product.

regard DnD

thanks ill look into that

dude ebay? always find the cheapest there. you're more protected there at least

Why the heavy-dutys ? I heard the Bilstein Sports are the way to go.

I'm going with heavy duty's for a more comfortable ride. At the same time, i want the sports for better handling. What do you think would be the best match with h&r sport springs?

you gotta go with sports to mate up with the h&r sport springs. I have the sports with racing dynamics springs.
I got mine from vitesse too:

I'm going with the sports.

Bavauto is priced the same as vitesse, but standard ups ground is free with bav. $26 saved right there.

good call

I ordered my Sports from BavAuto, along with their springs (for my 325is) -- I've ordered several other things from them too, and very happy with the service.

Theres always some listed on ebay but they're MUCH cheaper than everywhere else so I don't know what the deal is there. Good deal or bust?

Talk to Phil the owner(vitesse tuning) he might be able to give you a deal. Back when we had a gb on 318ti.org we got them for $445 shipped to our door,that was a deal..
