The sad thing is, this EXACT situation happened to me last year and I finally gave up in August.

By the way, this isn't just an issue for Turbos. Bilstein seems to batch there shock production and then run dry. I remember it was damn difficult to get the proper Bilsteins for my F150 bak in 2011...

B8s have been on back-order since late 2017.

I wouldn't take a set of KW's if they paid me to. I had an incredibly poor experience with a set of KW V3's on an Audi S4. Never again!

The strut is much shorter on the b8's.. FYI if you're doing this yourself you will need a spring compressor.
