where can i buy them in new brunswick, canada. thanks,Don:help:

Get them from www.kennedydiesel.com There are no distributors for bilstein in Canada. The one place I know that does sell them are about 30% higher then Kennedy Diesel.

or http://www.dpsdirect.com/

I thought that there was a shortage or something.

Do these guys have them in stock?

My green keys should be here tomorrow and Id like to order my shocks. I was just gonna hit a local shop and pick up some RSX9000 because I thought the Billstiens would be backordered.

The only Bilsteins that are back ordered are the 5100 series that people THINK they need. The only difference is the silver color (bling) and length that is really not needed.

The std yellow units with 1/2" or 5/8" spacer will get you to a point just short of contacting the mechanical stop (which it should not) and the longer ones will allow it to contact (again it should not) if the wheel drops out into a large hole. The mechanical stop is a service stop to keep the suspension from drooping excessively during service if the shock were removed. The shock has been designed with an extension limiter to handle drop out limits.

Do the Bilsteins make that big of a difference? I have green keys with the factory shocks and using no spacers. It does ride like S#!t though. I thought by using the Bilsteins it wasn't nessasary to use a spacer? What is the going price for a pair of fronts? I don't need the silver pretty ones. ;)

have had Bilsteins purchased from John Kennedy
