FX3 Bilstein Dampers (Shocks)>>> - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Are these getting rather rare (front and rear) or are readily available? I am just sorta betting on the future of these shocks and should be buying something now or not an issue???

Fronts no I see them up on Ebay all the time. Rears are a little HTF

EShocks.com and I forget who I just bought mine from.com....Mike we can also have Bilstein or DRM rebuild them.

B/N replacements are not cheap, I paid avbout 725/4 with the shipping. Also the replacements seem to me to not be valved the same as the OEM's in my 90. They seem to be a bit softer at the low end of the "six steps" within each console switch setting. Kind of threw me at first as I had to relearn the responses, but the different valving(?) made the Perf setting usable on the street....but you loose some of the control on the Tour setting & I find that I have to go up a setting at speed...I'm talking about body control at enthuisastic driving pace. There is less of it in Tour and Sport, but more "usable control" in Perf.
