Bilstein availability news?

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

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

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.
