Gotcha, According to Summit the fronts are only a couple weeks out, I don't need them right now , Not sure if I want to order and throw them on the shelf or just wait until i need them and hope this supply chain mess gets corrected.

The Bilstiens are pretty much always hard to get and seem to range from a few weeks to not available.

If you are still looking for the Bilsteins, the rears are available at RockAuto for $120 plus shipping and the passenger side front is available for $220 plus shipping. For some extra $, on eBay you can get the driver side front from Germany for about $350 landed in the US. Total would be about $810 plus shipping for the three purchased from RockAuto which is about the same as the package prices I have seen offered.

If for some reason you change your mind on using the Z28/FEA rear shock mounts, I would be interested in purchasing them from you.

Thanks, I am going to hold on to them for a bit, Summit said front and rears are expected to be in stock soon.

Good news on the timing of the Bilsteins arrival date! If you change your mind on the shock mounts, give me a shout.

Do you Guy's see any issue with buying the B6's and leaving them sit on the shelf, I honestly don't know when I would get around to installing them, It could be a year from now but considering they are hard to get at times I was thinking of buying them and putting them on the shelf for when I need them. I just am not sure if there would be an issue with seals drying out and what not.

I don't really see a problem with letting them sit for a year. Some of the oem shocks probably sit on the shelves for years.

I was going to install them when I did all the suspension work but they were on Back order, So I figured if I buy them I'll have them ready for when I tear into it for something or i am bored and throw them on.
