Default Bilstein FX3 shocks finally arrived???

For those insterested in putting (or Keeping) their FX3 system fully functional, it appears that the long awaited delivery of new (new) Bilstein FX3 shocks has arrived.

I did a quick search of Zip, Ecklers and Corvette Central and all show 89-91 and 92-95 shocks in stock.

My shocks (21k) and system seems to work as advertised, but I placed an order for full set--- just as a "in case" back up. Who knows when another production run will ever happen?

The wait time on this run would certainly make me concerned for future runs!

Don’t forget AJ USA, they always had the lowest prices when
the shocks were available.

Agreed.

I notice Summit Racing has them, too (same price as AJ USA).

https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bsn-20-070007
https://www.summitracing.com/parts/bsn-20-070014

It says Estimated Ship Date 5/6/2019 (if ordered today). I guess that means Summit orders them from Bilstein for you.

Does it say that on their web site somewhere? I did not notice a message like that. Here's the link I have:

https://www.ajusa.com/shop-by-brand/...sid=ygUx8R6UiB

Maybe no one actually has them on their own shelves.

It says that for the rears... says fronts ship today....
Also, why does it say this about lowering springs?

Good question!


I think it means you need to lower the front of your car. :-)
