Bilstein-Shocks Opiniones 

Great customer service

HORRIBLE PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT LIVE UP TO ITS HYPE OR
"LOOK AT ME BLUE POWDERCOATING"
Was talked into the 6112 front coil-overs and 5100 rear in my 2007 Sequoia 4X4.
********************************
What a shocking performance disappointment.!!
********************************
PROS
- OOOH Bright blue powdercoating
THATS ALL THE PROS..

CONS
For a Sequoia these shocks SUCK and are NO difference than the after market monroe's that were on it.
- Horrible ride
- oscillates up and down just going down the street!
- horrible dampening
- just going over parking lot speed cushion 3-5 mph the front hard bottoms out ( shock travel dirt shadow shows some 3+ inches of travel and have never been off-road or carried anyone but me and wife with NO added weight inside.
- Comes with INADEQUATE 600 LB coil spring.
- Needs to be min 650 lb or 700 lb front coil spring but the NO CUSTOMER SERVICE rep in SoCal is condensending and talks over you and doesn't want to hear it needs stronger coil.
These things are not cheap and with labor your looking at appx $2500 for 6112 and 5100 installed.
The setup that was on it before rolling into the truck shop were JUST AS THE SAME AS THESE..

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON 6112 FOR 1ST GEN SEQUOIA

I WOULD HAVE PUT KING ADJUSTABES ON BUT THEY NOT MADE FOR 1ST GEN SEQUOIA

BILSTEIN SUCKS... NEVER AGAIN

B8 sprint shocks order.
I purchased B8 sprint shocks for my Alfa Romeo Giulietta, the rear shocks were out of stock and were placed on back order from the head office in Germany.
Once they received it after 5 weeks, order was dispatched in a timely manner.

Good service and original parts were delivered. One of the items was not in stock but the company was able to source it.

Good seller. Had parts I couldn’t source in America. Mike was responsive to my questions and transparent about lead times on back ordered items.

I had clear communication with the team, I am all the way in South East Asia and my package arrived within 10-12 days. Good Job Bilstein Shocks UK. Tracking number helped alot.

I had a B14 kit fitted to my T5 camper van which wasn't cheap. 3 years later, and less than 5k miles, I have a leaky front damper which now needs replacing. Van Style (who I bought thye kit from) and Bilstein have said I only have a 2 year guarantee and wont cover me for a replacement so am extremely disappointed. I thought Bilstein were supposed to be one of the best but obviously in my case - not!

Don't bother with them, trust the 1* reviews, I ordered item IN STOCK online, paid for it, few days later they send me an email saying its not in stock, since then 0 contact, my money is gone, they don't reply to my emails, absolute scam.

Edit: don't believe their reply, it's all lies, do not order from this website, it's been over a week and I'm still waiting for my refund, they are now trying to blame my bank for it!!!

They are bilstein so the quality is as you would expect.
That being said if you order from British suppliers such as potn then expect to be told a date then put 4 weeks minimum on top of that date.
They will also not tell you when being sent out.
Not great

The experience was excellent. I received advice to help me find the best solution to my questions.
I would choose them again.

Having found to have issues with BILSTEIN,suspension components purchased from P.O.T.N., i contacted Bilstein.com explaining my issue and was replied to by Head of marketing Shae Hawkins having explained to her the problems with part no 24-263443 which is the part that Bilsteins own search system found for my vehicle Audi s4 B6 avant 4.2 v8 i was told i had purchased the incorrect part , if Bilstein own search system informs what part is suitable for my vehicle then obviously i order the parts and believe this to be the correct fitment , although this is obviously not so , the part no given to me 24-119795 by Bilsteins own representative as the correct fitment is not even listed for my specific vehicle ,.Ihave also had a lengthy conversation with Sam from bilstein tech dept .i did not purchase an incorrect part which is what i was told by the representative , the part specified by Bilstein for my vehicle is not a correct fitment .Bilstein should be made aware that their parts are not cheap and if mistakes are made during manufacture it should not be down to customers to solve their own problems with fitment , im absolutely appalled at the attitude of such a large company .

Love my Bilstein Shocks/Struts!!! Customer service is AMAZING as well. I have them on my FJ Cruiser and 4Runner. Man, did they improve the body roll over the stock Toyota shocks on the 4Runner. My FJ came with Toyota/Bilstens on it, but I upgraded them as well.

Bought a set of brand new 5100 Bilstein shocks and had them installed a couple months ago. Drove my truck for maybe a few weeks combined in the past couple months and my drivers side strut already snapped and was leaking. Tried to go for the warranty but bilstein denied the warranty. So now I will be going with a different brand of struts. Will never spend my money on bilstein products again. Waste of money for poor quality and warranty is garbage! Would definitely not recommend!!

Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience with this company.

I bought an air suspension for my 2004 Mercedes E200 from rellasamortiser in Athens.

The instructions for installing the suspension, which were on paper, inside the spare part packaging, did not say anywhere that we had to remove the car's bridge (I also have photos of the instructions).

The only time they mentioned the bridge was verbally on the phone.

I asked many official Mercedes workshops about the procedure for the replacement.

I also asked official Bilstein representatives in Greece. They all told me the same thing, that it is dangerous to tamper with the car's bridge just for a suspension.
It is the wrong procedure, regardless of whether the Bilstein company said it through a video on YouTube.

So if the company said that I had to remove the engine as well, should we remove the engine?

You buy such an expensive spare part for the car, and instead of having proper instructions, they tell you, watch YouTube!

Besides, if you said we should remove the roof, should we do it?

The spare part broke on the same day of installation, normally it should have been replaced.

After 1.5 months of waiting, the bilstein company replied that the installation was not done properly.
Should the company look at this particular product again?
From what it turned out, you have not manufactured it properly and you should at least provide proper instructions in the packaging of the spare part.

Unfortunately, nothing was done properly with this particular company. Too bad.
A lot of money, wasted for no reason.

Ordered part through Parts-in-Motion, a BMW brake splash shield made by well known brand Febi owned by Bilstein, a Germany company.

The part requires a slot (hole) for handbrake shoe pin which is flat to fit the pin through then turns 90 deg, to secure. This part had NO SLOT.

Contacted Febi/Bilstein and they kindly checked and it matches BMW origin part. Stupid BMW as on production line it'll need the slot punched out, but their replacement part which always rust away so will need replacing has no slot and Bilstein have to make an identical copy, so not their fault!

Parts-in-Motion Order number: 19-11625-25308

FEBI part: 171549 Brake Disc Splash Panel for 120D

Horrible, item item was not in stock, they told me they have to made it. It took 3 weeks to made it. I had to pay £22 on top of my order for some taxed. I do bot recommend

Bilstein has the worst support ever.
They are not answering email, I’m trying to get their support for over a month with no success.
DONT BUY THEIR PRODUCTS!!!

Greedy

£32 for two washers

Ordered them from another supplier for £18

Komplettes Fahrwerk neu vorn und hinten mit Bilstein, plus Dämpfer. Vorne links feder unten gebrochen, ca 18-19 Monate drin. Vorne rechts ca. 26 Monate feder unten gebrochen. Fahrzeug Opel Meriva A Baujahr 2004 Automatik, gefahrene Kilometer ca 5-6000, wenn überhaupt so viel km, sparsame Fahrweise. Resümee "Bilstein" Fahrwerksteile Schrott, ni wieder.

If you're thinking of using Bilstein-Shocks.co.uk then hopefully you read this first. Firstly these guys are resellers and not actual Bilstein, they are also awful with any after sales so if you encounter an issue be prepared for pain. I purchased the B16 kit in 2023, the kit experienced an issue following fitting and after days of chasing and sending videos of the issue both myself and the garage were unable to get a response, after one week a response was finally received asking to send the faulty part to them to be tested. Very difficult when the part is fitted and you're dependent on the car. The garage was willing to talk to a technician but Bilstein-Shocks would not oblige.
If you're looking for Bilstein kit then personally I'd look elsewhere, I guess alarm bells should of rung when the website said 'Easy Oline Returns'
