In the past week I've bought H&R Sport Springs, Euro Tail lights, Eibach Pro-Control Bars, X brace with rubber damper, K&N cone filter, custom spoiler, M-techic front grill, a short shift kit, M-tech oil cap, M pedals, and an M shifter. What I want is a D/A Supercharger but I don't have the 3K for a new one. I also need a set of shocks but the least expensive is around $450 - $500. Any tips on where to find reasonably priced shocks and/or a D/A Supercharger?

Turner Motorsport has the best prices on the best shock: Bilstein.

I just bought front struts (for M3) and rear shocks (for M Roadster) for $513 delivered.

Expect to pay that for lesser shocks elsewhere.
You spent all that money on good looking stuff, skip a few lunches and get the best shocks. You will not regret spending the money on these shocks...

Check bimmerforums.com in the Buy/Sell/Trade. Someone was swapping out their DASC for a full M3 motor. Think he wanted about 2K for it about a month ago. Just register and do a search for 318ti.

BMP also has decent prices on a combo HR/Bilstein setups. Don't know how their individual prices compare. Good luck. Post some pics!

if you're doing the install yourself, it's not a fun job. if you're paying to have the job done, it's expensive. the bilsteins are expensive, but will last for a long time. i had monroes on an old 2002 one time. i replaced them with bilsteins. the monroes did not compare in quality or life of the shock.
