There are local shops and distributors that can get you suspension, but you still end up paying shipping I guess. You can try Craigslist or DI.net...maybe even browse dfwmkiv. Were you wanting to buy local just to avoid shipping charges or because of trust issues w/ online vendors?

A little of both i guess. If its a local shop i can trust i wouldn't mind paying shipping. When buying online theres a lot of bs to deal with.

I purchased my coils thru MVP and had a pretty good experience with them. Maybe browse their site and see if they can get the springs you want. I went and picked them up, but its a pretty good drive out there (40min west of Denton). Might just suck it up and pay shipping. You can also look on DallasImports.net under the "Spanish Zone" A long time member has been serving as a distributor for a little while now. He may be able to get you a pretty fair price on some springs as well.
