Bilstein Sport Shocks

Switching out my AMG/Bilstein shock for some new Bilstein SPORT shocks. Having a tough time finding any of the discount Internet stores that sell them. Have a couple of quotes, but need more. Anybody got a great online shock store they want to share?

Try www.onlybenz.com

You need to call Wolfgang as the website parts area is offline.

I have quotes from shoxs.com, ajusa.com, and eshocks.com. Pretty much al priced the same. Why aren't there more people out there selling Bilstein shocks?

What prices are you coming up with? I see a set on ebay for $389, which seems awfully high.

it does....but bear in mind that shipping on those can be free. for something
so heavy, figure that the dampers are actually about $30 less. not too shabby
and about the lowest you'll see the Bilsteins.

I got lucky as hell. Someone sold me a full set of Bilsteins and springs for $400 brand new.

Most of them are pretty much the same price. I am going with Jeff @ importrp.com for $353.60 shipped, set of 4. I have dealt with him before and he is good. Will put my AMG/Bilsteins on eBay. THANKS!

Risque....my Sports have a different part number than yours. It's already a done deal. They arrive after Memorial Day. Lowest price I could find, plus I feel comfortable with www.importrp.com. Dealt with them before.

Bilsteins Installed

Just got the sport shocks installed. Yes, they are about an inch shorter than the E55 AMG/Bilsteins I replaced (going on eBay). Not a ton of difference in the ride; maybe a bit tighter, less lean. Headed to Gulf Coast tomorrow for true test.
