I got my Bilstein sport shocks from Steve at AA. IIRC they cost me about £600 delivered. Not sure if they are B6 though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Not sure if these are the b6 though.

There is only one type of bilsteins available for the coupe, so they are all B6's

Cheers Joel, you've seen it mate in the metal (hop farm the other week) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Let us know how you get on with the bilsteins compared to standard (never had a standard coupe, I bought the car with them on it & the arb's) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Maybe I can offer some insight here. The original supply problem back in the summer has been resolved. There are currently supplies in Bilstein UK but there will probably be a similar sellout and supply problem again until word gets back to the factory that more are required. The factory tends to make them when thousands are required again which means long delays if you missed them first time round. One of the reasons I've given this up (for now)is that the supply of them is too hit or miss. You just end up disappointing customers which I'm not comfortable with. The other factor is that there is no longer any margin in it. To be honest Steve will be barely be making £50 on a car set which is pitiful considering the outlay and hassle involved. Anyone offering them cheaper than this needs their heads testing. As I found to my cost you may be able to offer a startling price as a one off but these just aren't sustainable on a long term basis.
