    Best spot to buy Konis or bilstiens?

    I'm about to buy some shocks, and am looking for the best price. Has anyone had any luck searching around?

    Also right now I can ether afford four bilstiens or just front Konis and pick up rears a little later on. What do you suggest? Are Konis that much better?
    Thanks

      I'm on bilsteins on my 318is, no problems since I installed them almost a year ago. Bavauto last year had a summer sale, got all 4 for $350 shipped. They might have it again.

        wow that would be cool.
        I was going to buy mine from them because they weren't going to charge me any shipping.

          They generally have the sale starting next month. Andy aka CalaypsoE30 works there correct?

                      KO Performance (forum sponsor) had a special for $379 shipped last month in the group buy section. I would contact them and see if they'd honor it.

                      Edit: Here's the thread. They actually extended the pricing so you can still buy them.

                        bavauto sometimes has a sale for $350 incl. shipping. Usually during the summer, don't know if you can wait that long though :), lol. I got mine last summer.

                          I got mine from Worldpac for like 400 shipped next day.

                          KO has good prices. PureMS has good prices. Just pick a place. Its all about the same plus or minus 10 bucks
