I'll give them a try though. I know this drum pedal company who does the same thing, however they sell small replacements parts to the public.
All I told them was I had E30 Bil Sports & they sent me every last thing that would have come in the box if I bought them new.
It's not how you handle the good times, but the faith you keep in the bad that defines you.

What number did you use? I called this:
AFTERMARKET & MOTORSPORTS
HEADQUARTERS - WEST
14102 Stowe Drive
Poway, CA. 92064
1-858-386-5900
They transfered me somewhere else, and I asked for the wrench. The guy said they don't sell tools.

On the rear shocks, since the Bilsteins are so much thinner than the OEM shocks, the protective boots are way too big. Do you guys just leave the shock piston exposed to the elements or is there some bilstein-specific rear boot that I am missing?Advanded Delphin Division

Ok, So I just got my Bilsteins Sports for christmas, and Im hearing a lot of stuff. What does and doesnt work? It looks like I only have shocks and nothing else from Bavauto. I didnt see anything else in the boxes.
So I need boots to put over the rod?
The OEM bump stops dont work with the bilsteins?
All new rubber and new rear mounts?
So if i place one more order what else is needed for the install?

The fronts should have come with the Bilstein blue strut boots however the rears dont come with any and the stock ones work fine. My stock rear boots were only half there so I replaced both of them they were only like $6-8 each new from the dealer. FAP99.com has the upper strut bearing or $26 each and while they are listed as Sachs I got Boge mounts?
My upper strut bearings were fine but the mount itself was worn out as you could see it flexing alot when the control arm and tie rod were disconnected and you moved the strut housing. If you decide not to replace the upper mounts at least get some fresh grease in the upper bearing.
Shocks feel great, I think they ride a ton smoother than Koni Sa's and perform excellent on the track. Spec E30 class racing uses the Bilstein sports.
