Bilsteins at a decent price?

Members,

I'm looking to replace my OE shocks at they are worn out after 89k. I noticed bleeding in all 4, so it's time. I've been pricing out the OE Bilsteins and have seem them for 83.38. Anybody know a place to beat this price?

c220--sold now--W210
If you can get them for $84, thats pretty good. If you get them through a shop they may be able to pass along the savings to you. They should be able to get them for you for about $70 a piece, but you know how that goes they will tack on a little so the shop makes a little money off that too. $84 is a decent price, get Bilstein Sport Shocks, I just had them installed about a month ago and my car drives totally different, it still rides a little rough but it feels more solid than ever with my Eibach Springs.

Don't forget to do an alignment after you get them put on.

An alignment is not required when changing shocks on a W202.

Bilstein sports are listed HERE for $319 for the set. They don't list the HD or Comfort but I'm guessing they would be = or less money.
