Thanks for the info. They has had a turn over recently and there costs have doubled and there turn around time more than tripled to 8 weeks plus.
I am looking to see if there is an alternative to Bilstein?

You can try Fat Cat Motorports. They deal mainly with Miata stuff but they do custom miata Bilsteins.

Have you spoken with Guy Ankeney?

I've been told he can handle some Bilstein stuff.

To the best of my knowledge:
Recently all the Bilstein distribution and technical help (support/maintenance) was divided to 'Streetwise Motorsports' (http://www.streetwiseparts.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) on the western US and 'Team O'Neil' on the eastern US. I am not sure Bret deals with these (officially) any longer.

You might want to call Doug at Streetwise Motorsports: 949.459.0744. Or send him an email doug@streetwiseparts.com.

Unless things have changed, anyone can purchase the Bilstein parts (unlike Koni) and any of the quality names mentioned above should be able to service the dampers?

I know PSI up here at Sears Point still does Bils...
