Question Best Vendor for H+R and Bilstein Suspension?

I'm looking to buy a set of H+R Sport springs + Bilstein shocks for my '94 C2 --- which vendor should I reach out to for a solid package deal?

They're $1093 @ Shox.com, which is probably a reasonable price - anyone know of a better deal?

That is where I got mine, at that time it was the best deal around. Good vendor, fast shipping.

Ditto that - got the exact same thing at Shox.com.

Cheapest I found....
http://www.proamauto.com/page15bct2.htm
Complete f/r Bilstein HD = 717.60 a set with free shipping
+ Tire Rack for H&R springs = $315 + $20 for shipping
$1062

Only $30 savings. Personally I would order for a place that has everything in stock/buy at once.

those are good prices!! In the UK the shocks are £245 each!!

Already have lowered springs so changing the shocks would be next on the list...could get them delivered to the US office and pick them up when i am over next....

How much do they weigh?

No affiliation, but I can say that ProAm spends a lot of energy supporting local racers around here, so I try to support them when I can.

If your interested I have a slightly used set of H&R reds for sale. Low mileage relatively clean. I was asking $260 + shipping. I am in north Jersey. Work in Hoboken. Easy pick up if you are interested?

I appreciate the offer, but will pass - I'm looking forward the lower height and slightly softer ride of the Green's.

Thanks though!!

I have used both reds, greens and Eibach's. You might consider the Eibach's as an alternative. Equally soft but a bit more stable when pushed.

Really? Thanks for the tip - I haven't done too much research on the Eibach's, I'll take a look.

Thanks!

the red's give a lower height than the greens... but the greens are softer than reds.
