FS New In Box Bilstein Shocks

[wroughtirony]

***PRICES UPDATED TO REFLECT REALITY***

Set of front shocks. I somehow ended up buying two sets when I replaced them. I had intended to just hang onto these until I needed them, but now I'm planning on selling my FiST before then. (preview: well-maintained kona blue 2016 FiST available around December of this year. Mostly stock except I added recaros in the front, short throw shifter, and blow off valve. Cobb tuner included as well as front and rear dashcam) But back to the shocks!!

Price:
$200 for the set IF YOU PICK UP IN SOUTHERN MARYLAND. I live in Lexington Park, about 2 hours south of DC.
or
$225 for the set + actual cost of packing/shipping

If interested, text me at 512.689.0894
you can also email me at [email protected], but you're taking chances with my aggressive spam filter and I don't check it as often. Please no voice calls without texting first.

If you need more pics or info let me know. I know these fit a 2016 FiST but am not sure exactly which other years/models they fit.

Are these B6es, or B8s??

Buyers are going to want to know.

thank you. I'm not sure- where would I find that out? I took pictures of everything with numbers on it I could find.

Part number comes back as B6

Part number comes back as B6

that is correct- I confirmed with my mechanic.

clarifying lol- when you say both do you mean 2 sets of 2 front struts? Or both as in a pair (2) of front struts. Might be hitting a summer sales timings with a couple websites :/ glws!

Checking if I understand correctly $450 for front left and front right shipped? I'm seeing these listed on Summit for $149/each. What am I missing? I'd love to take these off your hands but not if they're more expensive. Might be what @snakeshot mentioned, summer sales?

It’s also 290$ for a pair on whoosh which i believe is their normal price.

I wondered what the bonkers price was for

 

[wroughtirony]

Hm, I set the price on the advice of my mechanic and what I paid for them, but I'll admit I did not check current pricing. I'll look it up and adjust accordingly or hold on to them and list them again when the sales are over. I'd like not to take too big a bath on these- I paid much more than I listed them for.

 

[wroughtirony]

Prices are adjusted. Woof. Taking an enormous loss on these.

I updated the pricing to reflect current prices. I got some bad advice and didn't double check before listing. Let me know if this will work for you.

Sent you a text.

Please somebody buy these. I listed them on FB marketplace, a guy said he was driving two hours to get them. I let him know I would be napping and to call me when he got here. He did not call, apparently knocked so quietly I did not wake up (I am a VERY light sleeper) and then left. He reported my listing as fraudulent and blocked me on FB and SMS after I texted him offering to deliver the shocks to him tomorrow FOR FREE at his home in Virginia, 2 hours away. So now I'm probably banned from marketplace, and I still have these shocks that I need to get rid of. They cost me around $500 when I bought them at the height of Covid. I'm offering them for $200. Yes, I can ship, but shipping will be $125. I cannot control that- it is the actual shipping quote. I am not a major parts warehouse. If I sell you these for $200 and eat $125 in shipping I am getting $75 for parts I paid $500 for.

The cheapest and most reasonable option for me might be throwing these parts into a dumpster at this point.

Sorry about that experience, FB marketplace is full of interesting characters. I wouldn’t lose too much sleep over it, you’ll get restored quickly. With shipping, they’re about the same price as just buying them through rockauto or summit so it’s not an especially great value for buying from a stranger online. You might try Craigslist or something like eBay to offload them. Paying $500 is too bad but you need to remember this is a sunk cost and then discard it from your memory entirely as nobody cares at all (I mean this in the nicest way possible). Sunk costs are a logical trap you should work to ignore. Good luck!
