I recently contacted the Billstein company directly. They said that they have a production run scheduled for July/August of this year.
They also said that they will not rebuild their shocks that were sold by GM and/or have an ACDelco sticker on them.

When they are back in stock, Summit Racing seems to have good pricing, fast ship and great Customer Service.

You could try shipping by sea via JetCarrier.com. I believe they ship to both Sweden and Norway.
The shocks are also for sale on German eBay, where ground freight might be an option.

Thanks Flyman I will be waiting. I can get mine rebuilt here in New Zealand and was going to get my old shocks rebuilt and upgraded to the Moroco valving and would like to have a standard set as well no problem with who sold the shocks here in New Zealand Regards Glen

What is the difference between the FX3 shocks and suspension on a standard C4 Corvette vs the ZR-1?

I don't quite understand why there are possibly two different fx3 shocks out there for the same model car. Less the engine.

there was an early bilstein shock for the zr1 / c4 that later received revised valving


the actuators work on all shocks, the later ones rotate less so they are "faster" to change modes 3 modes in both models


I found out you can swap controllers and shocks in all the zr1 and they work fine


stay tuned, I saw some nice coil over setups.



I have some low mile shocks on my 95 and my coil over setup is for sale.


check zr1 parts for sale
