i did order bilstein 5100 shocks online but, they showed up and weren't them. grrrr. anyone know of a reliable online store that has good prices on there products, and that i can count on

 

i used top gunz customs the price was decent and thhe shipping was fast! givem a try

 

thanks i'll take a look

 

I picked my 5100's at www.shox.com

Great service! Great product!

plus free shipping!

 

I ordered mine from top gun customz and it took me 3 weeks to get them because they gave me the run around every week, and it wasnt even worth it. The bilstein 5100s feel no different than stock. Unless you are going to use it as a leveler i would forget them and buy a leveling kit.

 

I also used Top Gunz. Got them in 3 days and yes it made a big difference in ride over stock. They were well worth it.

 

That's a first, and I HIGHLY disagree.

 

I got mine from www.shockwarehouse.com. Had them installed yesterday, very happy with product.

 

Is there a comparable shock to a Bilstein, or are the Bilstein's the best on the market!??

Im getting a clunking noise coming from the upper control arm hitting the spring and am not sure if I should just go with the Bilstein 5100's or to get an off-set levelling kit and stick with stock shocks.

 

Thank you for your business. We're glad the product produced positive results for you.

The ride height adjustable 5100s will work with stock springs. They are much better than OEM shocks.

 

Curious, what did they send you?

 

I have a question regarding the ride quality between the Bilstein 5100's and the HD shocks. I am looking to upgrade and I don't mind a little stiffer ride I just don't want a buckboard type ride. I know this is a bit off topic, any comments will be welcome.

It really depends on what you are looking for- in terms of cost/performance here's my list...
1. Koni $$$$
2. Bilstein $$$
3. KYB $$
4. Gabriel $

Koni I would recommend for racing only due to the price
Bilstein is a very good shock, but for most street hipo driving KYB delivers everything you need for a lot less money.
Gabriel- a nice oem HD replacement shock.

 

Are the Bilstein's the only ones that are ride height adjustable?

Like I said, my upper control arm is hitting the spring so I need to either level it out with the Bilstein's or go with an offset levelling kit and add shocks if, when, required.

 

I believe that Rancho makes an adjustable shock as well
