G'day,

I'm just in the process of converting my 130 to full airbag rear and ran into a small snag this morning. The Bilsteins I was planning to buy (F4-BE5-6529-H3) are out of stock Australia wide. I rang Sydney Shock Absorbers first up and then at least another 15 vendors to get the same story, everything needs to be ordered in and the delay will be 2 weeks.

This has caused a re-think and widening of the wallet if needed, we head off for 3 weeks this Sunday.

I'm looking at a pair of Koni Raids in lieu of the Bilsteins as they seem to be available within 2 days or less.

The shock up grade is required to better handle the weight of a slide on camper.

Should I just jump to the Koni Raids or am I overlooking a better option?

Cheers,

Fubar

Have you looked at fox shocks, depending on length there are direct replacement fox shocks available with remote reservoirs, look at apt fab website

Try EShocks in Michigan USA. They will get them here fast and you'll save a packet:)

Two very useful posts, thanks guys.

Both are options I hadn't considered.
