Also got my B4's from Eurocarparts but boy have they gone up in price, I paid about £45ea 6 months back they are showing as £70 a pop now.

Balance still sell them but you need to mess with the Bilstein catalogue first, VNE-4480 I believe £77ea. If you go to Euro don't just buy online call your local branch, mine dropped something like £5 off for no particular reason.
