WTB: Illumina inserts for sectioned struts


zero

Recommended Posts

I've been having a hard time finding a seller that actually has a set of sectioned-length illuminas (BZ3015 and BZ3099) in hand. It seems that Tokico is having production problems, I ordered from one distributor only to get the run-around for a month or so. There are far fewer on ebay now and what ones there are are way overpriced (closer to Koni race strut prices).

 

I found out I am losing my shop in a month so I can't wait for JohnC's Bilstein solution. I was hoping to find someone who has some lying around, or else I guess i'll just have to order the Koni's. If someone has another suggestion please let me know.

Tokico outsourced all their US assembly and distribution operations to a third party company called Belshore, Inc. here in SoCal. Its been a nightmare since late summer last year. I was a Tokico Warehouse Distributor for 6 years and quit as a result - having spent hundreds of dollars in Fed Ex overnight fees sending missing and replacement parts to customers when Belshore screwed up.

 

I'm still waiting on drawings from Bilstein so I can make the M48 gland nuts that don't exist anymore.

Yeah, I figured it was something like that. Thanks for the insight.

 

Glad to hear things are moving along with Bilstein. I'm just trying to get my car back together so I can get it out of my shop. At this point I'm considering just picking up a set of cheapo KYB's just so I can section, paint and assemble the suspension...
