Great news!

Now that Bilstein has all the parts, is their rebuild service now available?

One thing worth noting - some of the perches are bare metal. The set of Bilsteins I bought (just before people ran out of stock of the rears) came with two black painted perches, and two bare steel.

You need to do something to the bare steel ones before fitting, obviously

(I zinc plated and passivated mine before painting them.. should render them very rust-resistant).

Roger, please don't cause them to go out of production again by selling them at a discount.

Great news.......................pretty much the best shocks available for 928's

for a street car....stock springs with bilsteins.....good enough for sporting driving and trackdays too

For a race car.....get eibachs and cut -1.5 coils or 600lb front 400lbs rear springs......just about perfect and still ride decent on the street.....

Full race (not street legal)....would need to be revalved and run stiffer springs...which is what I am doing right now on my racers bilsteins
