    I just ordered a pair of 5100's from Essex distributors (http://www.essexdistributors.com/)

    They're located in BC, mine are supposed to arrive in Ontario this Tuesday, very excited!

    Just a heads up, they aren't typically in stock and these are in relatively high demand so it might take time after you order before they ship. I placed my order a few weeks ago and they were waiting for a new shipment to arrive.

    Mcbagpiper, how did you make out?

    Did you keep the fronts at 0, .85?

    For future reference for CDN members, it was cheaper for me to purchase 4 Bilstein 5100's from SouthMotorSports, have them shipped via USPS, and pay duty, then it would of been to purchase them from http://www.essexdistributors.com/

    I initially purchased them from Essex, only to find out they were on back order for at least a month. SMS had a bunch in stock, and took about a week to receive them.

    That's good to know...I ran into the same issue with mine being on back order. A month is right around how long it took by the time I received them.

    I set them at 1.75" with the stock sport coils and added 1" block to the rear.

    Do you you still have a slight rake in back with 1" block? I am thinking of either 1" or 1.5" block with front set at 1.75"
