    Hey, the original rear Bilsteins on my '08 GXP FE4 have rotted out the bottom, and it's time to get replacements. Unfortunately, I can't find the originals just about anywhere . Tried calling Bilstein, no dice. Does anybody have a line on these, or if not, what are reasoanble replacements that actually fit my wheels and FE4 suspension combo?

    Looks like a lot of the aftermarket for these cars is a total bust in 2021.

    Maybe check out Bilstein Parts - ECS Tuning

    Also check Amazon or RockAuto. Also, the Buick Lacrosse Super also came with Bilsteins if that helps.

    Yeah, RockAuto and Amazon are known busts, ECS tuning looks like they only have aftermarket Bilsteins ( and I called Bilstein directly to see if they had any aftermarket struts that are compatible, and they said no dice ).

    Going to call ZZP and see where I get.

    Not sure what your budget is but here is a few from Ebay. There are also some used ones I saw there for sale with varying mileage.
