oi oi, i got the Bilsteins from www.motorsportworld.co.uk got a good deal, i've also just ordered some Eibach springs from there to, bargain £173.25 including vat and postage, they've got an offer at the moment on them.
Was this for springs and dampers?

I had a look at the B4's on there and the fronts are £63.84 each for the front. Did you call them to negotiate that sort of discount?

Cheers macas ;-) i will look after it, don't worry about that, Gert we don't mention scumhampton round these here parts! Rtaylor yeah went to Motorsport world, springs were on offer, b4's i got the fronts from there to, but the rears were on offer on ebay, i paid £60.00 for the pair, definitely worth having a look on ebay 1st, the part numbers matched up with the one's on Motorsport world so just got a pair via each place, ebay and MSW. Alpina 17's reps at the moment, got them from a chap near me, zoner Polsta, sound guy and in lovely condition. As for discount i thought they were pretty reasonable after comparing else where.

New wheels next, need to get rid of the Alpina reps and get some genuine one's and a hard top for the winter months!

Pressed metal plates make such a difference too! :D
