    Bad news about Revalved Bilstiens!!

    It might be impossible to order a set of Bilstiens (revalved or not) of the 3g! My parts manager @ my work just got off the phone w/ Jack French @ Bilstien and there are NO MORE Left Fronts! He said it wont be for as long as another year before they have more. He is checking to see if the only difference between L and R for the fronts is the brake cable bracket in which case you can adapt an R front into a L front. I am waiting on the return call.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but thats the current situation. Sorry guys.

    Well they how important is it that the brake lines have to be bolted too the strut. Yes the only difference between the left and right is the brake line brackes.
    I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.

    from what I understand I dont believe that its a safety issue and i think it is the only difference, I know that w/ Koni's it is the only difference, but I am waiting on a return call from Bilstien to confirm if the same is true.
