Where did you hear they are not being manufactured? I have heard of back orders and delayed shipment but haven't heard that they stopped making them.

Bilsteins have always been in and out of stock. Its just gotten worse with delays on everything. The 5100's for the 5th gens were re deigned and are going under a new part number

They are being manufacturered but are awaiting production materials. All our manufacturers are having issues sourcing production materials. That is leading to longer than normal lead times and limited stock

It will be since December that they were not available, and now I am told , maybe late March. So I put 2 and 2 together and came up with the conclusion that they are not being manufactured.

24-232203 was replaced by 24-300872 I thought you may have looked up the old part number and saw they were discontinued

Yeah ya win some ya loose some!! I’m happy for you that you make out on it and wasn’t one of the unfortunate ones.

I had an Amazon buyer come in with a set and one was a 4th gen and the other was a 5th gen I said did you notice the part numbers he said yeah I thought it was left and right. Amazon made it right but it took a month. At the time there was plenty of stock I could of had him a set next day

I cross reference the part numbers to Bilsteins website before I purchased them. You know, doing my part to make sure it’s all legit. I didn’t want to go through Amazon but for the price and a US based seller it seemed like a no brainer
