Any suggestions on where to buy my shocks?

N54Society · 11-24-2015, 06:19 PM

I'm trying to find anything that is close to ECS in price for what I'm trying to buy. I'm looking at the Bilstein S4 Sport version. ECS won't ship this order out till December 7th! I can't wait that long. Any local options that might price match ECS?

Anyone have another option?

Thanks

How about Turner Motorsports? I bought my Bilstein B6 (HD) from them. They were cheaper than ECS and they ship very fast. Even with shipping (was only like $18 for 4 heavy shocks) it was cheaper than ECS which offers free shipping on most stuff (not all, they charge shipping on wheels and other heavy items). Turner shipped the Bilsteins to me the next day and I had them in 3 days, like with most things I order from Turner.

All of the parts I ordered from ECS tuning said ships 3-5 days and it took 1.5 to 2 weeks to get them. I was talking to the ECS cust. rep and he said if it doesn't say ships in 1 day, it means it is OUT of stock, and they have to order them. Once they get them in they ship them to us, which is why you see "ships in 3, 4, or 5 days" on the ECS site. These were basic almost maintenance parts I was ordering which tells me that ECS does not keep a lot of BMW parts on hand.

One thing I have to say about ECS is that they have great customer service. A few weeks ago I ordered some parts that said ships in 2 days, but after 3 days they had not shipped so I called them. The rep said my stuff was coming in the next day and would ship then, and apologized. So it was 4 days instead of 2. I told him that messed me up because I had an appt. with the shop to get those parts installed. He said tomorrow he would ship them out FedEx 2-day air at no extra charge (still $0 shipping for the entire order). They did and I got them in 2 days and the day before my shop appt. So they seem to go that extra mile to help you when they acknowledge there was an issue or discrepancy. I don't know about Turner cust. service because I never had a problem with the 3-4 orders I placed with them so far, but ECS seems to have top notch cust. service.
