Have you received and installed the b8s yet? I get a company discount on all bilstein parts and trying to decide on the b6 hd vs b8s. I get $215 a piece for the fronts and $111 For the rears. I guess for the price I should just pull the trigger and report back

I tried to order. the B8s front is on back order with no ETA in sight I was told. I am stuck going with b6s in front. Have not order yet but I am looking for options.

Man that's not good to hear. Did you speak with a bilstein rep? I was really wanting the B8s to use with my siwft springs. Since those designed with lowered cars in mind. Guess I'll have to call on Monday. The rep that does employee discounts is off tomorrow

captinnitro

yes, I did and it's no good. The car its been on all 4s for the last 2 weeks. Time to get the car on the road. I can't wait forever. Moral of the story have all parts first before starting work.

So looks like we will never get the B6's back in stock....

What options do we have for stock like ride?

If you mean a non-coilover option, then how about a set of non-abused OEM Bilsteins?. I guess you're looking for other non-coilover options?

I'm only looking to get the car back to a stock suspension setup, so I need replacement shocks, however Bilstein shutdown their production line that manufactures these (directly from the Bilstein Rep) and their line was supposed to be back up and running by Oct 2018, well, that didn't happen that I can tell.

The problem is these shocks age in a way that makes them super hard and make a ton of clunking noise, so picking up "non-abused OEM Bilsteins" is a real gamble, you won't really know until you mount them and take her for a ride.

I'm currently on stock springs, but do have a set of swifts I can re-install and possibly use the B8's, but I really don't want too firm of a suspension. I'm looking for as close to stock as I can get for $500-600 for the fronts.. Backs were replaced with B6's last year.

That's good to know. I've had a set of B6 front struts on order through Summit since July 2018. They have a current ship date of January 31, 2019, but I'll believe it when I see it. The ship date has been moved back three or four times now.
