Default Bilstein 5100's
Where is the cheapest place to get some 5100's. The backs are easy, but any tips or tricks to doing the fronts by myself and then the ford garage can do the alighnment. Thanks in advance

Cheapest place I have found is:

They are awesome- great customer service, fast & free shipping, and really knowledgeable. I like browsing all their king and fox stuff My fiancé won't let me afford.

You need a spring compressor to do the fronts. That's probably the hardest part. You can most likely rent one from the local parts store

Flamehead16: thanks!

There is another site offering these. The rears are backorder, fronts in stock with 10% off. I will call them tomorrow to verify part numbers and availability. They are a little cheaper.
