Sourcing Bilstein parts
« on: June 24, 2011, 03:58:54 pm »
There seems to be a bit of a problem in the UK getting Bilstein shocks, as Euro Car Parts are the main supplier and theres a money issue between them and Bilstein.

Does anyone know of any companys in Europe who do performance or aftermarket parts such as Bilstein?

I need a set of B4 shocks.

I've tried most of the big places here to be honest, but hadn't emailed them.

Just done it though, so I'll see what they say.

What are you after? We stock lots of Bilstein stuff and have no issue obtaining parts direct from Bilstein. We have had 40+ items through our door from Bilstein this week with no issues.

Not VW listed but I had a set from these guys recently for a MINI - he ordered direct from germany, maybe he could get others ...
