Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (79VetteMike)
The best price I have found is Ecklers at four for $250.00. I also have a gift coupon for $50 that I was given by a very nice forum member for a little assistance in an information avenue I just happened to have access to. That only leaves me $200 to get a set.
I asked Dan (VanSteel) about a price the other day and he told me that Bilstein had a set price for their shocks and that there had been a price increase.So if you can come up with a price of less than $250 let me know I will sign up and help make it work. I can always buy something else with that certificate.

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (mvftw)
I sent an e-mail to Mike at Ecklers tonight and asked him aboout a better deal on a group purchase for the Bilsteins for all of the Corvettes here at Corvetteforum.com
Mike, I’m Jim O’Neal aka PROSOUTH from Corvetteforum.com and we are looking for a group purchase from one of the sites sponsors on a set of Bilstein shocks for Corvettes. There has been no one to step up and answer the call from repeated request of a group purchase.
We have had several group purchases to date and with a very good rate of success. Hydratech for instance had a group purchase for the Hydraboost brake system and instead of the 20 required sales he sold about 30 sets of Boosters during the event. This was fairly limited to the C-3 crowd however.
We have had several request from all of the sections for a group purchase on the Bilstein shocks and in case Ecklers has not been monitoring the board I thought that I would drop a hint your way and ask for a good price on a set of four shocks applicable to C-1 through C-5 Corvettes. With the many members we have it would be a good promotion for Ecklers to get acquainted with the Corvette forum crew.
I looked at the last sale catalog I received and they were listed at $250 for a set of four on the C-3 .What about a deal? Thanks Jim O’Neal
What doya think? Jim

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (phxraptor)
Sorry guys i must have missed this thread before. I really can't do anything on the Bilsteins. They leave very little room for profit. Prosouth had a good idea with asking Ecklers. I think they could get you guys the best price or Mid-America. Sometimes it's hard getting these big corps to budge on stuff like this. Let me do a little fishing around and see what i can do. Maybe i may be able to work something out. How many people do you think are interested?

Re: Bilstein Group Purchase? (mvftw)
Bilsteins are by far the best shock to have. Internally the have these digressive valves in them that self-adjust to road conditions. You won't bounce all around. If you are looking for a great ride than Bilstein's will be what you want. It's kind of like comparing a vette to a mustang. It's whats inside that is much better. I believe they are well worth it. Ask other forum members about them and they will tell you they love them.
