Default Best deal on Bilstein 5100 Shocks?

Those of you who have bought them or other products from one of the vendors....who has the best deal including shipping? I've seen a few good prices with free shipping, but concerned about the delivery time as well. I'm not in a hurry but don't want to wait for more than a week or so. Whats your experience?

I ordered mine through serious. They were like $320 for four and came with shock boots. Took like 6 months to ship because they were on back order

I know it seemed like 6 decades.....but it really wasn't 6 months. They are very popular so backorders do happen from time to time.

You're right. 6 months is exaggerated, it did feel like forever haha. I read around while I was waiting and found that it's not uncommon for them to be on back order

summit racing. to my door in 3 days. $160 shipped for two 12" travel 5100's
and even better, the sales rep I was talking to in the Reno store actually knew what I was talking about. I grabbed a couple part numbers from the website that were close to the size I wanted (thing I love about the site is they actually list ext and collapst lengths) and he was able to look up similar lengths and tell me what he had IN STORE ready to ship. very comfortable experience
