Cheapest place to buy B+G coilovers?

I know that shox.com has them for $1040 shipped, but I am a willing to save a buck or two if anyone know's where to buy them for less? I am in the process of talking to one of the forum members to see if he can get them for me cheaper, but I just want to toss a hook in the water and see if I get any bites.....

So, anyone have any places they know of cheaper?

1040 is a good price. any price cheaper than that usually comes from a hook-up

hmmm...i like that price.....is the ride quality like stock or better than stock? if you have it on the lowest setting....do you have any problems with bottoming the springs out over a large pothole or dip in the road?

at faster speeds >45 it rides like stock at slower speeds it is more bouncy
i have it at lowest setting and i havent ran over pothole or dips i live in pretty well maintained area
I do grind the ground every once in awhile but not to often
the ride was surprisingly good when i had 3 of my friends in the car with me our total weight was a little under 900 lbs i was really low but no problems with ride qualily just had to watch what i went over and surprisingly i didnt bottom out on a lot of areas that i thought i would
Just have to drive differently with it lowered than when at stock height

I havent rode in a car with Tein but i would recommend b+g, especially at the price I got

Yes that is how it works
it seems slower is softer and faster is stiffer
