Default Bilstein HD w/ extra threads, who sells them?

Can anyone confirm that places like shox.com, Tirerack, Automotion, Pelican, etc, sell Bilstein HDs with the extra threads up front? If my research from the archives is correct, the extra threads are now standard. But I want to confirm before I pull the trigger at, say, shox.com.

TIA,
Mike

All of the new Bilsteins have the extra threads.

Sponsors: Steve Weiner and Viper Bob carry them and have great prices.

PJ, thanks for the info.

Automotion (Performance Products), Tirerack, and Pelican are all Rlist sponsors as well with great prices. Lots of great sponsor choices to be had here on Rlist.

Van,

Just make sure that they are selling new stock with the extra threads. There was a string a few months ago where a RL'er bought some from Pelican and they were two different colors. One was was old stock.

It's been years since Bilstein US has been providing the HDs with extra threads by default. Now, as Patrick mentioned, hopefully whomever you buy from has "fresh" stock. ... Although I can't imagine how any of the reputable guys would still have the old ones.......
