Bilsteins

[Derick]

Hey all, What is the cheapest price (in Canada) that anyone has seen Bilstein shocks for the mk4 Jetta? Please tell me how much and where you saw them.

Thanks!

[R_Ethug]

www.rpiequipped.com sells them

i'll let you know tommorow if i'm getting mine or not.. still dunno

[Holksvagon]

If I can get a few guys together I might be able to ge a little above cost for the Bilstiens I'll have to look into it though

[Derick]

Cool :thumbsup: Hey Dale, 'Cost plus' pricing is always a goods thing. How many people do you need and where are you getting them from? You can count me in if the price is right

I saw them on the RPI site, but they still seem a little pricey. That's why I'm trying to get feedback from others who have bought them so I can get an idea of what a "good deal" is.

I'm right in the middle of trying to get some right now, there's a guy on vortex selling some used (10k) for $550 instead of the regular $750 (from RPI)

although, there's a sale on FK suspension on vortex right now, spring/shock combo for $530 shipped canadian. i think i might hook that up

[Smartiepants]

If I were you guys I would buy shocks new, because they do wear out.

Simon, I'm assuming that $550 and $750 is CDN dollars right?

I saw them on ebay for $409 USD. I guess that works out to roughly $565 CDN + shipping and any duty....

So, I'm trying to hit them for like $650 CDN or less. As for the FK special on Vortex, I definitely don't want the FK stuff. :thumbsdwn

yah thats in CDN prices. why don't you want FK stuff? there are a few people in the club and they seem satisfied. I dont have first hand experience though.

I am willing to let go my BILSTEIN SPORT. Used aprox +/-3000Km. Make me an offer. Installation to your car included. :mrtongue: PM please.

[Simon]

ooh i'm interested. pm'd!

[R_Ethug]

i can't wait to put mine on but this winter i'm gonna shoot myself because i'm gonna be staring at my wheels and suspension sitting in my basement :(

[Derick]

ooh i'm interested. pm'd!

Wait Simon, Isn't this my thread!? :mrlaugh:

That's OK. I think I'm still going to try to score a new set. As of right now, the ebay deal is looking pretty good. I'm thinking of buying those ones and having them sent to California where I can pick them up in a few weeks when I'm down there.

[Simon]

haha oh yah, sorry about that.

picking them up while you're down there is a great idea, will probably save you $100 on duties alone!

[R_Ethug]

yea for sure.. i had to pay 50 bucks duty on my 25th dash kit but whatever i saved more than enough to make up for it
