Who is on Bilstein B8s?

I initially ordered the B12 setup from Summit a month ago. No word from Bilstein so I inquired. Summit got a hold of them and it wont be till late May before another order ships from Germany. I cancelled and will probably go with ST X with the rebate going on and pretty low price at tire rack right now.

Best price on Bilstein B12 is from AJUSA. It's where a bunch of the BMW guys shop for their Bilsteins.

B12 for $734 with free shipping

Thanks for the Link! I just bought a set of B8's for $536.65 shipped! :) That's almost $100 less than any other place I've seen. :eek: Of course they are on national back order so we'll see how long they take to get here. :(
Use the code "bilstein2" for an extra 2% off. :p

Just bought a set of fronts from AJ! With the coupon code no less! That’s why this forum is the best! I have to buy rears thru ECS since I have a store credit with them atm... but when I’ve called before, they’ve price matched... now to wait for the backorder to work itself out...

just so I have the correct info, when reinstalling the B8s in the front, you are to NOT use the factory bump stop as the strut has one internally... can that be confirmed?

This is correct. The front b8s are upside-down monos, so it would be impossible to install a factory bump stop designed for twin tube 1/2" shafts.

So with the B12 kit, has it been confirmed which Eibach springs come with it? Is it the normal Sportline springs?

Does anyone know if the backorder is USA specific? I'm in Canada and am looking to grab the B12 Pro Kit asap.

I'd start asking shops and dealers that carry Bilstein. I'm trying to find Konis or Bilsteins and everything is 4-6 weeks out.

Essex Distributors here in BC say they are on a North American backorder
