Just bagged the two front Bilstein B6 shock absorbers from Alternative Autos ebay site.
I am struggling to find a set for the rear, Julian at Balance Motorsport seems to think that the chances of finding any are slim.
If that is the case, what options are there for the rear?

Where did you source them from? Sounds like they could be ideal

I share Paul's experience. Have you tried emailing Bilstein direct, the coupe is still listed in their catalogue so can't see why they wouldn't supply them, it's a damper shared by quite a few platforms.

Might have tracked them down but £96 each + VAT ? I am sure I saw them for £130 a pair but may be mistaken thats around £255 including delivery.
