Is the supply chain still tied up, or are Bilstein shocks likely to be available again soon?

I was told end of October by FT86speedfactory.

My supplier's website is showing "ETA 10/8 to 11/30" for a B6.

So a pretty big window which basically means "we don't know." I could probably send some e-mails and find out more but RCE or someone likely has a better idea.

I've been told 2-3 months since October 2017

I wouldn't trust any date until someone has some in their hands at this point

Same. I'm not giving any ETAs to anyone...we just don't know.

Well, the good news is I can just skip these now and go straight To RCE Clubsports

Was thinking of getting B6's for my '13 FRS what differences will I notice from stock? Car is lowered on H&R springs and has Yoko ad08 R's. Car is for track use and canyon runs

I've been trying to sell mine for a year. LOL

Any updates???? I've got the front end torn apart anyway,, thinking a B6 upgrade for my RCE Yellows while I'm at it.

Andrew,,, don't see them on your website??? Do you still sell them??

We would if we could.

No ETA available (that we trust).

I wanted them for my own car, but will be using these:

They've been out of stock for like a year or more and there is no definitive ETA. Nobody knows when they could arrive.

The last comment of mine was regarding the Racecomp Coils that Andrew mentioned,,, a new products for them. Really don't need a coil over,, but looks to be a good deal at that price.

To your point, no one seems to have the Bilstiens. Too bad,,, at Summit with the $50 discount they're offering on orders over $500 they'd be $685 which is a deal.

Koni's may be an option,,, they also have a $50 rebate going on as well.
