Bilstein Suppliers?
Some different people here have posted links to a site that has part numbers and pricing for Bilstein Sport shocks. I can't seem to find that link, does someone else have it?
Who has the best pricing out there on Bilsteins? Thanks.

Well, you're not going to be saving any money wth Bilsteins. But I do like their performance over Konis. Check out these threads:

Dano THANKS!
Okay here is what I was going to do...
Parago Coilover with 300 or 350 springs $240
Stock Torsion bars $0
F&R Koni Sports $530
But Trevor,Tim R., and a guy over at Vision has convinced me to run with Bilstiens if I intend to AX the car wich it is being bult partly for.
So my Question now is which Setup do you think fits best. I do not want to spend a fortune on these. But If I can get better performance I will spend a little more. And how much more should these run. From your earlier Post it looks like I will just need the Front and Rear Sports.
AK-1120/1121 Sport shock, heavy-duty valving for STIFF springs
Or do I need this set:
AK-1110/1111-A Sport shock with threaded body for coilover springs
For the rear:
AK-35432 Sport rear shock
Thanks as always!

For autoX, I don't think you'd notice much of a difference between Konis or Bilsteins at all. The most important thing here is alignment (at least -3 degrees camber in front), and an adjustable rear swaybar. Then some sticky rubber like the Yokohama A032R, Kumho V700, Michelin Pilot Sport Cups.
