Default Shock Purchase source

I am looking to replace the Bilstein shocks on my 89 vert and wondered if anyone could direct me to a place to buy them. Looks like most of the places I've looked are selling a set of (4) for about 275.00 to 280.00. Thanks.

I got my Bilstein Z51's from Van Steel one of the Fourm suporting vendors. He had a GP last year and I think we paid around $65-68 per shock. Was a great deal then!!

Default Bilstein Purchase

I bought 4 Bilstein sport shocks for my 79 at Eckler's, $250.00. My 89R has Bilsteins also, but only 51K on them. May replace soon.
For 88 thru 96, Eckler's has Bilsteins, with or without Z-51, in roadster or coupe, for 79.99 each. Buy 4 and the price is 279.99.

For FX3, the price is 219.99 each. I did not see a price for 4 of them with the FX3.
I was surprised that they sell them at that price, but decent price and fast shipping.
