Where is the best place to purchase the challenge spec bilsteins from because demon tweekes keep referring me to the Billies B6.

You dont mention a budget, but there are lots of options, GAZ/AVO/Koni/Nitron/Ohlins if you want a pukka setup and can afford it.

Challenge Billies. I had progressive ones made for the fronts as the 325 eibach ones were a bit stiff.

Nitron do not make the E30 kit any more due to lack of interest. I spoke to BG motorsport at Silverstone and he said I'd be looking at £1500 per front leg and £600 per rear for single adjustables

AST do a single adjustable kit for a touch over £2k
