Best place to order Bilstein 5100's

Just as the title states.
Looking for feedback on entire transaction, not just price. Everywhere I have checked is within $10 of each other.
Who have you guys had good experience with and who, if nyone, should I avoid.
Looking to order this week.
Any preferred vendors from this site?

Ordered mine on Nov. 11 from Shock Warehouse. Heard nothing from them about my order until I emailed them two weeks later to find out they were back-ordered until Dec. 15th. Called them yesterday and found out they are now back-ordered until mid-January. So can't really say I would recommend Shock Warehouse based on my experience thus far and am considering canceling my order and going with someone else based on the horrible communication

After doing some more research, I ordered them from eshocks.com. They were very helpful AND had the best price I found. In addition, my shocks were shipped yesterday, within hours of my order. So far so good, I hope they are the correct shocks. I have no reason to believe they won't be.
I will update, if anyone cares.

I got mine over two years back from www.shox.com .

They were the best price out there at the time. Don't know about now. They are great shocks, you won't regret it.

Just checked www.shox.com again. The 5100's are $449 for a set of 4 and have free shipping.

Got them yesterday and part no.'s seem correct, so I would say I am more than satisfied. I would definitely reccomend eshocks.com at this point. Now I can't wait to get them on!

So I had the shocks installed yesterday and I couldn't be happier. The look is what I hoped and the ride quality is as expected, firm but not uncomfortable. My experience with eshocks was an extremely positive one. I would recommend them to anyone looking for Bilsteins!

Easier said than done apparently. Is there any easy way to post a pic?
I did create a garage, so there are a few pics there.
