I called around to sevaral shops, including my local indy, and finally settled on Brake Check plus. They had the best price by far. I got the the whole thing installed, and an alignment for $318.
Car drives/handles so much better,I have had the kit on now since last April. Looking at the milege, I have driven just shy of 10k miles on it.

In the bimmer bargains section of bmpdesign.com, they have hartge shocks and springs for ~$900. Originally they went for $2000+
