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.

He's doing a hillclimb this weekend in his cool Acura TL.

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...
