Where's best place to buy lowering suspension?

I'm thinking about bilstein shocks with h&r lowering springs. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Also trying to find best place to buy the suspension from. I want the drop mainly for looks and a bit better handling. Don't need coilovers or anything as it's not a track car just my daily.

tirerack always has competitive prices, but if you can find a local place, they make make you a deal on parts and install. TC

Tire rack is out of the h&r springs. I found the bilstein shocks at $80 ea which seems like good deal. Now just gotta find a set of lowering springs.

You can also try Evosport (www.evosport.com) for the H&R springs. And since you want your car more for looks change the pads to #1 all around. Show us some before and after pics for comparison. Good luck.

Oh yeah that's right I forgot about mb and their pads. Those are purchased directly from MB dealer parts if I remember correctly.
