    I don't represent these people, but just wanted to let you know about an this deal I found on eBay.

    I needed new shocks for my 2nd gen. I searched and searched and finally found this; a full set of Bilstein 5100s front and rear for $309 shipped.

    I ordered mine on Friday and already had them at my door by Monday. I was really surprised when the UPS guy knocked on my door.

    They're a legit business and have really good communication. I thought this was too good to be true and wanted to confirm these were indeed the correct shocks and struts. They responded to my emails within 24 hours and confirmed the part numbers for me.

    So if you're in the market for to upgrade or replace your worn shocks: Billstein 5100s


    Here's mine:

    Product page pics are misleading. If they sell the struts and shocks as a set then both should be pictured. Not just 4 rear shocks. Got your own pics of what you received?

    Exactly why I kept messaging them. I wanted to make sure I knew what I was getting.

    I'd rather pay the extra 30.00 and get em from Headstrong instead of some Fleabay seller. But that's just me, I prefer to have great customer service immediately when I need it. Nice deal though

    Yeah, certainly worth conforming beforehand. Thanks for updating your initial post with a pic of what you received. That will reassure others who are in the market for these. Price is similar to reputable vendors here on TW, however.

    If you find a better deal, buy it. I know I looked for a long time and this is the best I've seen.

    The fact that they got these to my door and answered my questions almost immediately is the only reason I wanted to share.

    Thanks. I went with the less aggressive 4600 series for $299.96 shipped but good deals all around. Cheaper than Amazon. I can't believe I would've paid $109 for ONE rear shock out of Autozone.com.
