Bilstein sporadic availability not just an FX3 thing

Sharing for general awareness. Here I was thinking it was just Corvette owners who had to wait for shocks.

I recently saw this statement by a suspension vendor I've used about Bilstein stocking practice. It seems that Bilstein dealers have the choice of either holding a lot of inventory to make up for the long Bilstein lead times, or face lead times of up to six months.

This is super interesting, thank you for posting!

I actually reached out to RockAuto a couple weeks back to ask if they would/could order a quantity from Bilstein since so many people are needing them. They said they could not do that.
