Tim, I just checked a couple vendors that I use every now and then for pricing, etc, and came back with 200-225 as their "everyday" discounted price.

Setting high standards has always been a top priority with Bilstein and a consistent set of parameters and performance guidelines go into the development of each Bilstein shock application.

To kick off 2009 and to last through January 31st, we will be hosting a group buy on Bilstein Sport and Bilstein HD (Heavy Duty) Shocks. Pricing will be 45% off Bilstein retail price as seen at
www.bilstein.com
and UPS ground shipping will be $25-$30 to anywhere in the Continental United States - location dependent. Canadian shipping with USPS Priority will be a flat rate of $65.

Bilstein has received worldwide acclaim for quality shock absorbers that have set new industry standards.

FAQ
:
Q:
Will this offer be for any other Bilstein products?
A: Not as a part of this group buy, but be sure to PM us about a great deal on Bilstein Coilovers or Bilstein TC Shocks. Our deals on PSS, PSS9, and PSS10 Coilovers and TC Shocks are equally as good and very well be better than you've seen elsewhere.
Q:
I am in the Austin/San Antonio area. Can I pick up my shocks to save on shipping?
A: Absolutely. Anyone wanting to save on shipping can certainly walk in to our store front and pick their products up in person.
Q:
I am outside the U.S. and Canada. How can I buy? What is shipping going to be?
A: International ordering is welcomed, but we ask that you first read
www.mjmautohaus.com/international
before sending us a PM for any international inquiry. For international shipping quotes, please contact us via our site at
www.mjmautohaus.com
and a sales rep will reply.
Q:
When will this offer end? I need to get Bilstein Sports today and do not want to wait for this offer to end. You say it ends January 31st, but will you send my shocks before then?
A: No, this offer will end January 31st and that is when all shocks will ship. Anyone needing their Bilstein Sport and Heavy Duty Shocks before then can certainly get a set at a great price, albeit, not at the advertised 45% off Bilstein retail price. If you're in a rush, simply contact us through the forum for a price quote for shocks.
Q:
I'm looking for just front Bilstein Sport Shocks. Will I receive the same discount as those purchasing front and rear sets?
A: Yes, the 45% off Bilstein retail price will also apply to front only or rear only sets. Shipping will approximately $15-$20.
Q:
Will you charge my Visa or Mastercard immediately or when my product ships?
A: We will not charge your card until the group buy is over and your shocks are shipping out of our Texas warehouse. PayPal users will obviously have to pay us at the time the order is taken and there is nothing that can be done about this.
Q:
Can I have my shocks sent to my buddy's sister's friend's shop? That is where they will be installed.
A: Unfortunately, no, we cannot ship to any address other than the billing address you have listed with your credit card. We apologize for the inconvenience. The same will apply with PayPal payments.
Q:
I might need strut mounts or shocks mounts when installing my Bilstein Shocks. Can you supply these, too?
A: Absolutely. We stock a good amount of strut mounts, shocks mounts, bushings, strut boots, and more. Supplying any of the above would not be a problem. We highly recommend doing mounts at the time of doing new shocks.
Q:
I need a quote for the 45% off on my model. Can you give it to me?
A: Take a look at
www.bilstein.com
for the quote for your vehicle. The pricing for this offer will be 45% off Bilstein's retail price. If you cannot find your vehicle listed, please contact us through the forum and we'll give you a quote. Shipping will be either $25 or $30, depending on where you're located in the lower 48 states.

Why do you have the potential customer go the bilstein website to get the pricing? That makes no sense at all. Post it here or on your website.
Regardless, it seems that they are all in the ballpark of $322-346 retail a corner?
Not sure I understand. They are saying you will get 45% off the bilstein web site price, so $322 becomes $177 and $342 becomes $188. I haven't checked other sites for the same product, but how is that NOT a discount?
All I saw was the PSS9 set up and with discount it was just under $1800..... that is about the same deal we heard last year for that set up.... Good... but by no means a blow out.
Still, beats retail if you need them now.
Well, IMHO I don't think that 45% off MSRP posted on the MF website is that special. I can find that price on the internet any day.
Tim, where r u looking? My search shows $602 for the fronts, $322 for the rears. And I assume that's per pair, but it doesn't say.
Tim, I just checked a couple vendors that I use every now and then for pricing, etc, and came back with 200-225 as their "everyday" discounted price. So while I wouldn't call this a smoking deal it still is 10-20% less than some of the pricing I have seen.
ps. it seems that Bilstein is a little behind on their retail pricing adjustment on the website as well.
Ivan,
If you read the fine print this deal doesn't apply to PSS9, and they won't tell us what exactly their price on that would be.
Although they promise it will be "equally as good". How equal? If it's exactly equal then it does cover the coilovers, if not, then how is it equal? I'm confused...
The 144 (actually 145 rounded) is the amount of the discount. That amount needs to be subtracted from the original price of 322 to get your cost.
322 X 45% discount = 145 discount amount
322 - 145 discount = 177 price you pay
or shortcut
100% - 45% = 55% which is the percent of the original price that you will pay.
322 X 55% = 177 price you pay
And you know this because.... you had to ask him what the cost would be, right???
Actually, Maci's post was not real clear. I wasn't sure if he was quoting the discount amount or the price he would pay, so I wanted to make sure I covered both.
Besides, I just wanted to prove that I was as "tarp as a shack!"
A while ago, vendors were selling PSS9s under clearance prices for $1800 or $1750 plus shipping. Let's start with that water level instead of being marketed with this fancy math.
The Bilstein website is advertising a price of $3148. Therefore, its easy for them to announce such dramatic savings for all.
$3148 for PSS9s - $1800 = $1348
$1348 divided by $3148 = 42.8%
Folks, you are getting an additional 2% discount from what is a good price for PSS9. Its not 45%...
Hence, the reason the vendor wants you to go to the manufacturer website. Manufacturers are NOTORIOUSLY slow to update retail pricing as it comes down.
Sorry! I was incorrect. Sharkwerks was selling PSS9s for $1695 a while ago. This promotion is not as good of a deal.
http://www.6speedonline.com/forums/9...-two-kits.html
I paid $1850 shipped for mine last Christmas and thought it was a good price. Market price should be much cheaper now for PSS9s. Correct me if I am inccrect but I thought our stock suspension are Bilsteins.
Are you serious about these numbers? - Tim.... I stand corrected !
Can you do the little math lesson again. This time use the Fancy Math because the simple stuff doesnt work any more
<whispers> 45% off of $3148 means
you pay $1731.40
, I have no idea what you did up there, was that simply a re-aranging of the same numbers?
Ed,
At the end of the day, if you compare Sharkwerk's offer for PSS9s at $1695. Its still the best deal. Not $1,731.40. My math is comparing the price delta in % not actual selling price.
All Bilstein Sport and HD Shock pricing will be on their site at
www.bilstein.com
All Bilstein Shocks are listed on their site as per shock, not as sets.
We ask that you go to the Bilstein website to see what retail pricing is and simply subtract 45% from Bilstein's retail price. This will give you your cost. Shipping is $25-$30 depending on where you're located and nobody will be charged sales tax unless we are shipping to the state of Texas. All of this is answered in the FAQ. Asking folks to simply look up their pricing on the Bilstein site directly makes much more sense than quoting 250 people each and every day. And yes, we are receiving that many inquiries to this offer, as it's on Audi, Mercedes, Mini, Porsche, Volkswagen, and Volvo forums around the country.
By all means, post a link somewhere that you can find 45% off Bilstein shocks being sold as an every day price. Maybe for a group buy, but not as an every day price. Granted, 45% off isn't spectacular, but it's less than you're going to find elsewhere - GUARANTEED. This will be our 4th Bilstein group buy in the last three (3) years, all among BMW, Mini, Volvo, VW and Audi owners before, and nobody ever complained about 45% off Bilstein list price. And again, the price is per shock on Bilstein's site, not as a pair.
And for all this PSS, PSS9, and PSS10 talk - it looks like some folks did not read the FAQs.
The 45% off retail price DOES NOT apply to coilovers, only Sport and HD Shocks. On the Bilstein Coilovers, the price we can do (part number specific) are actually less than 45% off. For coilover pricing, simply PM us and we'll quote those as requested. For shocks, please see the Bilstein site, as the 45% discount will come right off Bilstein retail price.
For poops and giggles, though.
1999-2005 Carrera (996)
PSS9s - $1999.95 with free shipping.
PSS10s - $2224.95 with free shipping.
Either can ship within a day of ordering. Local customers can save a few bucks on shipping for those wanting to pick up their set. OEM strut mount and bearing kits can also be added at a discounted price.
