Just about ready to order shocks and rear sway bar.

I contacted SHOX and the Bilsteins were $70 a piece. The Hellwig is going for $150. Do these prices sound reasonable?


Also, is the front sway bar worth the money?
Any opinions?

Thanks.

Yes it sounds like a reasonable price and yes I think the front A/S bar is worth it.

On 11/27/00 I paid $139.00 each for the Hellwigs and $62.45 each for Bilstein shocks for my X. Got them from ASI which is shox.com. Shipping was $60.

They transformed my X into something that really handles. Is the front bar worth it? Don't know. You could install the shocks and the rear bar and see how you like it.
