Default WTB Bilstein Eibach setup ASAP

As many of you from this SITM already know, I am in dire need of suspension replacement. Two years out of three, I have blown out shocks on the drive from Alcoa- thank you Andrew and Murf! I have usable club sport springs and could just replace the shocks only, but after reading Chuck Z's debacle I would rather not risk doing this job two more times. The latest iteration i was driving had andrew's gt springs with brand new gas boges from roger (won by dave k in hell last year. Golly what a scary pig that was! No turn in, lots of wallow and float, no control or sports car feel at all and big bottoming out! YUK!
To get to SITM, I left these on the rear and put the CS springs I had back on the fronts. Well, the front shocks blew, and honestly, the CS spring in the left front corner could be broken as well! (cue Tom, Jim, Andrew, Katie, Pam- sounds like a rusty bedspring and some folks gettin busy!)

But I digress.... Anyone that can sell me the bilstein eibach combo new or slightly used, or just new eibach springs (then i can buy the shocks and assemble them), I would greatly appreciate it. Dont want another summer without the shark (last year it was the failed tranny )

Thanks- Brian

Please. As Brian's "Bitch/Wrench" if you have a set you can part with, do it for me. Otherwise my summer will be like this.

All right you big baby... I've got you covered (4 new Eibachs).

PM or text your address and I'll ship them out tonight.

I have some 'other' shipping work to do with Capt. Earls LH box… two birds, one stone.

Besides, I have Andrews MAF and I can feel his pain all the way down here.

I have a new set of Bilsteins complete with the perches and nuts for $935 if that helps Brian.
No Eibachs - sorry.

It doesn't work that way. You need to know the secret handshake.

Just exchanged texts with Brian. He's very appreciative. He'll be in touch with Kurt and Roger as soon as he can. I think he's driving right now.

Not to discredit or redirect sales from one vendor to another, but 928Specialits has Bilsteins on sale with hardware for $799:

https://www.928gt.com/pc-2144-11-bilstein-shocks.aspx

However, Konis are still on sale, and if you have anyone willing to order for you on their TireRack account, its an unbeatable deal.

Dave's price is much better than mine so I would prefer that the business goes to them.
