Unhappy Bilstein Shocks

HELP!

Just bought H&R Sport springs from The Tire Rack for my 2000 GS4, was wondering exactly what Bilstein shocks to get for this setup. I noticed many of you have this setup. Please help. Also, where can I order the Bilsteins from?

Your assistnace is greatly appreciated

MAC,

you need BE5-2802 front, BE5-2803 for the rear. i was able to hook up many guys here with a set for $425, but i lost my contact.

so, go to www.shox.com, they have excellent prices and is based in CAL.

MAC,

I saw someone selling Bilstein shocks at Classified section. Perhaps you could find some deal there.

When you purchase the shocks from Bilstein, they would sell you as William mentioned, one kind for front, and the other for rear.

I got a quote from shox.com for the following:

Bilstein sports: $399 all four
Bilstein PSS coilovers: $899 complete set


I think the PSS is the same price all over the place...I will let you guys know if I find anything cheaper...

Hope this helps...

Thank you all for your help. It seems that the Bilstein coil overs are a good price...Does anyone know how they perform?

Thanks

MAC,

almost anything from bilsteins are GOOD. plus you get limited lifetime warranty. the coils: shocks are bilsteins made, one of the best, and the springs are from HR, also top notch. my cuz has the pss from bilsteins, very very good....if you want coils, def consider bilsteins..

Thanks to all for your assistance. For $500 bills more, I think I might return the H&R springs to the Tire Rack, get a credit for rims, and purcahse the PSS system by Bilstein. Anyone know the best place to purchase from? Thanks again!
