Anyone with Sachs Sport suspension? (archive)

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on the Sachs Sport suspension kit for my '90 535iM, but have a couple of last minute questions for anyone who has recently gone with this setup.

- Who did you buy from (Bekkers, Shox.com?), and how much did you pay? Bekkers says $755, but I've heard they'll meet the loser Shox price ($700?). Can anyone confirm?

- Does the kit come with EVERYTHING you need? (including new rubber spring seats)

- Any problem getting the right kit for your model? My car is a 7/89 build date, and I know there were differences in Bilstein part numbers depending on build date. Anything unique on the Sachs kit? The guy I spoke with at Bekkers didn't seem to think there was any build date difference for the E34.

- Any lessons learned on installation? I've got a good set of spring compressors, and have done springs and struts before on my E24.

Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks.
