Hi S14a. The cheapest you will find wil probably be ebay, but if you want any kind of guarantee/comeback in the highly unlikely situation of them being faulty, go to a proper supplier.

I work for a company called Proven Products who are suppliers of Bilstein, and, not wanting to blow our own trumpet, are quite competitive.

Give me (Tim) a call on 01822 613200 or visit the website
www.proven-products.co.uk (http://www.proven-products.co.uk)

If i may say so, its a great choice of suspension, ive just put a set on my road rally Nova

euro car parts are an official distributor that deal with the public.

Most of the cheapest retailers for Bilstein will get them from ECP.

Can they supply private buyers directly, or are they bulk-buy retail suppliers only? Any contact details?

Ahh Proven Products! Bought a few bits from there a couple years ago. In Tavistock right?

S14a. Dont even consider the Black Bilsteins, In my experience.

who sold you them????? They are the originals (slight upgrade from OE). THe B8's are what you want as the B6's arent short stroke, especially if your can is lowered 60mm

colin smith had a set i billys... i was debating whether to get them but with the accident and having to buy a new car i couldn't afford them.
he might still have them, but i didnt hear anything from him, so might be sold. was looking for ?150 for a full set.

Colin was offering them about in a thread on MIG this week. I expect he still has.

Not much buying going on after Christmas I wouldnt imagine..

Just been on theyre website. No contact details as they are a trade supplier.

Try & get your local parts stockist to source them through ECP.

failing that you could try my local Rally shop, he's pretty cheap. Should do mail order for you...
