Front Bilstein 5100's No Grommets/Washers

even better price than i posted

I have the Wheelers Kit...they were great to deal with....even threw in a sticker for the beer fridge as I asked. Price is going to be the same from Summit to get equal kit as Wheelers. The Wheelers kit has very HD washers...much heavier than the Bilsteins. Wheelers kit has two centering grommets, two larger cushion grommets, larger washers, small washers, with no washers having centering protrusion. I think it depends on what top mount you use on what kit you may want. I ordered new KYB mounts, and they provide the needed lower rubber grommet that fits their mount. (Now that right there is an amazing concept Bilstein needs to F'n pay attention to!!)

Did I ever say the fact we have to do any of this crap is totally F'd up on Bilsteins part for a expensive shock? Just wondering.....LOL

yea they shoudl really include them imo.

Just to add to this for anyone searching the archives - I recently bought some front Bilstein 4600s and they didn't have any buffers or washers. The B4-kt1-z219a00 kit listed upthread for the 5100s works with the 4600s as well, though I just chose to pick up some junk struts at the junkyard to supply the washers and ordered new Toyota buffers instead (since I was ordering Toyota strut mounts anyway).
