Need advice on rear shocks???
 
I need rear shocks bad! I can not find the original equipment bilstein shocks anywhere, until late July or August from eshock... Thanks to a link from David Johnson...

So AutoZone tells me there is an aftermarket Bilstein shock that is made for the ZR1. Has anyone used these shocks????

the part # is F4B461178HO

Any advice would be appreciated, hoping to install them before leaving for BG!

I just checked Autozone and that is a non-FX3 (non-adjustable) Bilstein.
Have you tried shox.com?

To bad eshocks.com is short of stock.
Thier prices are usually tuff to beat.

Interesting that Corvette Central shows rear FX3 as discontinued for 89-91

You could always get yours rebuilt by Bilstein (or if you don't have an old set - buy used and then rebuild)

I got a full set from Lingenfelter. They were fitted by RedLine Estepona (Spain). Pret-ty good, pret-ty pret-ty good! Hope you find some, there aren't any in Europe!
cheers, Richard

Shox.com has a pair of rear in stock - BA5-7001 for $189.95.
Call 800 683 2890 and ask for Mark.

Thanks to all of you!!!
Shocks will be here Friday...
Bumpy ride to BG! Can't wait to meet everyone!

If anyone is going to need rear shocks soon I would get them while shox.com still has them, It sounds like a long wait from Bilstein!
