Bilstein B16 Damptronic Coilovers

derbo · 05-22-2018, 05:40 PM

Is there any clearance issues with 18x10 +25 like all the other coilovers?

Dave07997S · 05-22-2018, 08:56 PM

Thats a major issue with this product. My Lord, its almost vaporware. Its never in stock. When mine wears out going back to OEM.

I am running 18x10 +25 with zero issues.

It's been a year and I'm stuck waiting.

It seems all the Bilstein products that supports EDC, are never available.

And I ponder why this isn't widely known or discussed. I won't make this mistake again.

I really wanted to try these for my now-track, to be street again, car.

Still in production purgatory?

SYT_Shadow · 06-20-2018, 03:31 PM

The word on the street is that Bilstein got a major OEM supplier deal and doesn't have any spare capacity, so all products are delayed.

I have two non-EDC B12 kits on order for a few months already and they keep getting delayed and delayed... it's a real shame.

TireRack seems to have it in stock?

Yea. I'm waiting for B16s.

BayE30 · 06-20-2018, 06:52 PM

I'm having a hard time being patient for almost a year now...

DreamTime · 06-20-2018, 07:27 PM

Yeah. I'm a very patient and understanding person, but damn...

I even ordered my B8s directly through a friend who works for Bilstein here in the US, up in Ohio. The only good thing is that - as soon as he knows something about distribution resuming he will let me know. But, that doesn't make the waiting any easier

Dave07997S · 06-20-2018, 07:33 PM

What a joke...vaporware...

At least you are on zcp.

L4ces · 07-02-2018, 01:51 PM

So what's an equivalent replacement for EDC shocks preferably with a bit lowered stance as the Bilsten?

wyatth · 07-02-2018, 02:05 PM

Keeping EDC = OE or Bilstein, that's it.
Bilstein coilovers lower the car. Bilstein EDC struts/shocks will raise it slightly.

E90Dave · 07-02-2018, 02:21 PM

Any legitimate news on where you can get these now?

From what I heard, production hasn't ramped up yet and no ETA when that gets back going.

Looks like ECS Tuning and Turner websites are showing a Oct 2nd ship date - with an updated premium price of $3,620.81.

ROFL, fuck that. There's a mountain of better wualiry and readily available coilovers for our cars for less than that. Bilstein is basically giving a big F You to the E9X community with this and I will never buy another product of theirs again. Let our wallets speak.
