ECP are the UK Bilstein importer, but they are not always the best on price.

Defo worth contacting Meatballs82 though

Received this from Motorsport World in the week..

Trouble getting hold of Bilstein products? Suppliers keeping on announcing delays?
We don't ! - 99% of Bilstein products in stock and shipped directly from Germany to our UK customers.
Background
Bilstein and the UK importer parted company a couple of weeks ago and unfortunately Bilstein didn't have a decent contingency plan in place. They are beginning to stock a warehouse now but it will be weeks until Bilstein UK becomes fully functional. We, however, were already dealing with a German distributor for some other brands and that has gone well, so we asked if they could supply Bilstein too and they can. Deliveries of all stock items 2-3 days.

I wish motorsport world were doing that earlier in the year. I ordered my bilsteins from them. It took about 2 -3 weeks becuase there isn't much demand for the b8's (or something along those lines). When the bilsteins turned up they were in euro car parts packaging

[sweep]

Europarts it is then

[asmith88]

i phone ecp today for a shock, they told me that they didnt have any in stock anywhere, told me to give them a phone back in a few weeks?

[Cook318IS]

Apparently the e30 bilsteins aren't kept in UK stock by bilstein because they aren't as popular as other supension kits for other cars. Which is why i had to wait 2-3 weeks for the next shipment from germany.

Just ffs make sure the collar nuts are present. Especially if ordering from the brain dead useless wankers at ECP. They have a couple kicking about that have no nuts and they keep circulating them trying to off load!

[sweep]

Hopefull now sorted

[bss325i]

Euro car parts are/were the UK importer of Bilstein products so ANY bilstein product will have gone through them before being sold by any other UK supplier.

Going by Simons post, ECP are no longer the importer!

[sweep]

Yes barry i tried gsf they dont supply them the probably only supply some cheaper shocks!

GSF supply Boge shocks.

[Kieran_n22]

[sweep]

What are boge like with a 4 up in a car lowered quite a lot?

[Meatballs82]

I can confirm there is no Bilstein stock anywhwere, cannot get a straight from anyone as to why, am gutted as they were most popular product you guys were buying off me... Will update when I know anything...

[sweep]

[Meatballs82]

on Friday and was told I had to cancel an order I was trying to process, haven't seen any stock come in, will check tomorrow and get back to ya

[Meatballs82]

Right, There is no chance of ECP supplying Bilstein anytime soon, thats all I can say on the matter I'm afraid guys!!!

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

[Dezzy]

Who is the new uk importer then i wonder?

[Meatballs82]

All will be apparent soon I'm told, I cannot say what for fear of being sent to the firing squad!

[DanThe]

Andrew Page? They are dishing out letters and leaflets round here like crazy, will be giving them a go as I struggle to get ECP to answer the phone most days..

Very popular round here judging by the number of times I see Andrew Page vans zipping around.
