c3bmw.co.uk do them and would buy them off them

Euro's do them at the same price. No discount as they are special orders!!!!

150 for the fronts (each) and 110 (each) for the rears

The prices of blisteins at ECP are not as good as they used to be. They lost the distribution contract a couple of years ago

I got my B4s from Demon Tweeks via their eBay shop. They were a good few quid cheaper than ECP.

spoke to c3, bilstein don't do a b8 for the e36 m3, as the m3 shock is already shortened, they do the b6, so on order.

managed to get e30 b8 rears from ECP on special order (7 days)

get the m3 wish bones bushes from them aswell they are bloody great. Cornering at speed with them bushes is the nutts

Do believe b6 and b8 rears are the same not much between them really
