Boy, this woulda saved you some hassle, eh?

 

It would have sped up the entire pre-building of a new set of 5100's a lot! I recall @Stage3Motorsports mentioned that Bilstein was working on these back then; I've kept searching for these from time to time - as a service to those that follow!

 

Unfortunately as you have discovered those are not available separately and need to be removed from oem struts. Bilstein does plan on offering these in the future but as of last month had no time frame for when they will be brought to market.

I know exactly when these will brought to market - the Monday right after I get mine installed!

Here was the comment from back then.

 

If I’d only seen this post 3 days ago, just reused my rusty stickers to rebuild my Eibachs LAST NIGHT! It hurt my soul to use those rusty pieces or garbage on the beautiful new spring/shock setup.
Ah well, hopefully the next guys finds this in a search!!

 

Note - it appears these do not come with the plastic insulators so keep those from your OEM set.
