Just in case anyone is interested in getting Bilstein HD shocks and struts at Autozone, the part number that they can get for the front is an old number (S36-0201). I called Bilstein on this, and they told me that number had been replaced a couple years ago, and that their systems must not have been updated.

So, if you want to get them from Autozone, here are the part numbers:

Front
Autozone PN: 084847
Bilstein PN: F4-VE3-C522-HO

Rear
Autozone PN: 084580
Bilstein PN: F4-B46-1121-HO

The prices that I got from Autozone were cheaper than all mail order places that i have seen, so I got them there. Also, my buddy gets me his commercial discount (which also means no sales tax), so it worked out pretty well. I ended up getting all four for $505. Pretty good deal.

I think the "normal" prices were like ~$190 each for the fronts and ~$90 each for the rears.

Good find. These are the cheapest prices I have yet to find on these struts. Anyone know if they can be found cheaper elsewhere?

 

i paid 340 for the set from lingenfelter back in 02. they no longer sell them for that though as i've been looking as well for another set.

just around $4-450 seems to be what i find them for on ebay and various websites.

 

hmm...i never looked on ebay, but $400-450 seems really low compared to any "traditional" website i was able to find. Most were around $600-650 if i remember right.

if you can find 'em that low, then i would definitely snag them.

THANK YOU!
I ordered them at Auto Zone last night, got them for 508.96 + tax!

 

i went to order a set the other day i wanted the h.d fronts we looked them up in the bilstein catalog and the part number for the sports and h.d's was the same so i was wondering if this is a new strut like maybe half h.d and sport or just the sports now or what?

 

i remember when they looked them up for me, there was an issue like that - but if you order the part numbers i listed, you'll definitely get the heavy duty ones.

hd is what you want.. they are great. sports only if you have a real low drop.

 

BTT check with AZ the part numbers are still good but MY price was higher.

 

Are these shocks worth the money? Thats a lot of dough!!

 

It seems these are the way to go, but these days they are CRAZY expensive!!

Anyone have a lead on a good price?


BTW, the Autozone HD p/n are now:

Front
F4VE3C522H0

Rear
B46-1121
