Bilsteins Struts... am I looking hard enough?

The shocks/struts on my car are the stock ones and just aren't cutting it anymore.... they bounce all over the place and I scrape very easily at stock height.

I wanted to replace them, but since I am going to, I am going to just put the best ones in. I wanted to go with Bilsteins but I cannot find a place that sells the struts ANYWHERE. Am I not looking hard enough? The shocks I can find easily, but the struts give me problems.

If anybody could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

Give Lingenfelter a call. They can get them to you within two weeks and the price for the struts is ~160 each.

Count me as a satisfied ASI customer (www.shox.com)

I've bought four cars' worth of Bilsteins from them over the last 8-9 years; nothing but good things to say about them.

Shox.com were the ones that had the 4th gen group purchase didnt they?

they modified that back in the day so we could get strut/shock setup for our cars.

I payed like $480 total to my door or something for all four.

Was within past 2 years.

later
