Anyone know any BILSTEIN distributors in the US?

Cheers all!

Any one know any US distributors that can check for availability of 34-001042 strut inserts? I've been trying for a week now, no online sources. I don't have anyone locally. Calling BILSTEIN directly got me nowhere: "Special order via your authorized dealer only, please, contact them..."

This is for my S2, the rears, 24-020527, I found through multiple sources, and in stock, but the front inserts, I need those particular ones for conversion, and to be used with DP Motorsport lowering springs - I can't find anywhere in the US or even get an ETA from anyone...

So, please, if you know anyone who is a distributor, I would love to know ETA on availability in the US if special ordered.

Regards,
D

Appreciate the suggestion indeed! I actually have a cart saved with ECS on those inserts and rears, the price is great too, + the coupon "GREATRIDE"... I called then, no real ETA, they are guestimating at best.

I even stopped by the local O'Reilly, as online, parts both units are listed, and very competitively priced, suggesting "see store for detail"... The did place a "Customer inquiry" for me yesterday through their special order dept. Fingers crossed, someone will come through.

It's just that I have to coordinate this order/delivery with another order for specialized custom threaded inserts to convert my factory 30+ year old sealed struts into the cartridge version, to accept BILSTEIN units, and those collars/insert/glands, I have to order from New Zeeland, the only place I know makes the conversion kit. They are very nice to deal with, and can also supply the front inserts, since they have then in stock, but the price and the shipping charge due weight kinda blows my budget on this conversion.

I will give it a week to see if anyone can give me some semi-solid ETA, and may just bite the bullet, get the front inserts along with conversion kit from New Zeeland, and source the rears locally.

Well, looks like the only US source that is willing to take the order is ECS, since this is the msg from O'Reilly



Oh well, I tried...
