Best place to get some Bilstein HD's? Alright gang I'm ordering the Bilstein HD's this week, but I was wondering where is the best (Price & service-wise) to get them? Any help/input is appreciated. <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: Best place to get some Bilstein HD's? I'd be interested as well, I was thinking on trying either Stranoparts.com or Shox.com (both are 299.00).
Diesel are you going to run the regular HD's with your Ground-Controls ? Also how long did it take to get the GC's and did you order it direct ?

The shocks are not on yet but i can say that Sam Strano is a suspension god. The man talked to me for 2 hours on the phone about how the whole F-body suspension works, your options, and the price ranges. You can spend $40 a shock or $6000 a shock and if you call sam we will tell ya the pro's and con's of both. The one thing he did say is that the F-body will NOT ride correctly with just HD Bilstein's and the revalving is nessary. Hope this helps

Re: Best place to get some Bilstein HD's? Well said Ledfoote, I already decided on the HD revalved. I am under the belief that I should spend the extra $$ in the first place to avoid spending more later. JMO. I emailed Mr. Strano but I guess I'll wait till Monday when he get's into his shop. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
