Default Desperate need of HELP!!

Ive got a few CL members interested to pick up my Teins Ive got in the classifieds. But I need something to replace them with, not gonna roll with a BIG gap in the my fender well. What I want is the Bilstein PSS setup, but apparently every Bilstein distributor is back-ordered on it. Im not too willing to air freight a set over from Europe. So if anyone here can point me in the right direction of who may have a set in stock, Id be eternally greatful. Or if you can recommend something similar to the Bilsteins in ride comfort. I found the that even with the Teins set at Zero, its was still a bit too stiff for me. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

if you had already called Bilsteins, and was informed as such, then you would probably have to wait until they arrive from germany.

or TEINS CS, HKS LS

I had to wait for a month before I got mine. But it was well worth it. I'm sure if you have CL members interested in your TEINs now, they will be interested a month from now.

BTW, Bilstein max lowering is 45mm (1.75 in) in case you didn't already know. No "tucked" wheels with this set-up.

Default Found some!

Thanks for the help and info. I was able to locate a set that was in fact special ordered and shipped from Germany, but the guy it was ordered from hasnt picked them up yet and the shop is willing to let them go to me if I pay cash. So tomorrow, they will be installed. Thanks again guys.
