Ever heard of the broken window theory? Nothing worse than having something f'd up with your car... if you're not careful you'll let things fall apart and just give up and become overwhelmed. |

Maybe I missed it...but...Why wasn't the shock simply repaired at Bilstein USA during this time period? What exactly was the failure??

I can't believe that Bilstein could get out of honoring their warranty of fixing/replacing the broken damper by claiming unavailability. In that case they should have refunded you completely for the set. Did you ever push them for an alternative solution (like a refund)?

I called Bilstein s month ago and the rep made every effort to have no clue what happened and had no idea when product would become available. |

The shop said the wire connectors are fine yet the computer cannot communicate with the shocks which is why my EDC didn't work. |

Personally, I would request BilsteinUSA to disassemble the shock and see if they can repair it. Sounds like it might be an internal wire break/disconnect.

By chance, does anyone know if production will ever pick back up for the B16, Im in no hurry to purchase but would like to buy them now so when my shocks goes, this would be a great alternative for my EDC plug and play...hoping Bilstein will start selling soon...its seems that back order is another excuse for Either Not enough demand....or simply discontinued...imo

When it is time going back to OEM EDC for my ZCP. If you are going all out for a track vehicle just move on to a more dedicated setup. Dave

Valid point Dave. I was looking at the B16 myself. Looks like I will need to do something else.

ECS are showing an ETA of Dec 7, I guess production has restarted. I badly want to try these! Significant damper upgrade with more performance leaning springs whilst retaining the EDC button seems like a win-win.

Until I see "In Stock" written on the webpage and a tracking number, I won't believe it. No, you are charged when it ships.

I gave up on retaining EDC and went with MCS coilovers instead. Couldn't be happier since I would've been sitting duck waiting for these things.

Funny story (not), I've had these coilovers on order from December 2017. The ETA was February 2018, then it was moved to April, then June, then August, then October, then December, then Feb 27, 2019... and here we are. The new ETA for me is April 22nd or some other made up number. I called Bilstein direct to nicely ask if they have a real eta or are they going to discontinue this part number because they haven't made it in 2 years and are stringing customers along. I was told "just get another brand coilover if you can't wait". Great customer service -_-
