Hello Thomas,
Thanks for providing a feedback.
We understand that getting the best parts can be expensive and may disappoint sometimes most especially due to unexpected failures.
We wish to help you. The thing is, we do not recognize any order based on your description and contact details shared.
We believe it is worth mentioning that we are NOT Bilstein itself but just a retailer that focuses on the brand and operates in the United Kingdom wherein several more retailers are present which you may have mistaken to be us.
If you can be so kind and amend your reviews to us, we would greatly appreciate it and will be more than happy to assist you further with your Bilstein parts needs.
We're looking forward to hearing from you soon. Please feel free to contact us back. Cheers!

Say things are in stock when they are not
I placed an order 2 days ago for a full set of shock absorbers. All were shown as in stock. I received an email today saying the rears are ready but the fronts are currently on backorder with an estimated lead time of 1 week (could be more, could be less). If I go on the site now it still says they are in stock when they clearly are not in stock. I asked them to split the order and send me the rears first, but they wanted an extra £14.4 postage (more even than the £12 I was paying anyway). Since I was going to have wait an indeterminate time for my parts, I cancelled the order and bought them from autodoc, who were also 20% cheaper.

Hello Pete,
Thank you for your review.
We understand your frustration and appreciate the opportunity to clarify how our service operates. As a dedicated supplier of performance suspension components, we work through a distributed supply network rather than holding all items in a single physical warehouse. This allows us to offer a much wider range of products than traditional stock-holding retailers, but it also means availability is dependent on real-time supplier data.
While our website reflects the latest information available to us, stock status can occasionally change between the time an order is placed and when supplier confirmation is received — particularly for fast-moving or specialist parts. This is an industry-wide challenge when operating across multiple fulfilment points, rather than a single stocked location.
With regard to your order, the rear items were available for immediate dispatch, while the front units became subject to a supplier backorder shortly after purchase. As standard, we consolidate shipments to avoid customers incurring multiple delivery charges. When a split shipment is requested, additional courier costs do apply, as items are dispatched separately from different locations within the network. These are real shipping costs rather than added margins.
We do take your point regarding how stock availability is displayed and are continuing to improve how this is communicated to better reflect situations where supplier confirmation is still pending.
Our aim is always to provide access to genuine parts at competitive pricing, alongside clear communication when circumstances change. We appreciate your feedback as it helps us refine both our systems and customer experience.
If you would like us to review your order further or assist with alternative options, please feel free to contact us directly.

I unfortunately had a frustrating experience ordering from Bilstein-Shocks.co.uk and wanted to share this so future customers are aware.
I placed an order for Bilstein front springs which were shown as available on the website, paid in full, and received an order confirmation. Shortly afterwards I was informed via email the items were not in stock. Initially I was told they had checked with their warehouse, but later it became clear that the company does not actually hold stock themselves and instead sources parts from third-party suppliers, they are a DropShipper, not a product holder. They were disingenuous at first claiming they checked with their own warehouse staff and the product was not in stock, until later communication proved that they do not hold stock themselves and order and ship from third party suppliers. I very much doubt they have a warehouse.
Because their supplier could not fulfil the order at the advertised price, I was then asked to proceed at a higher cost after purchase. £35 + VAT. While I appreciate that Mike from their team tried to assist and remained polite and professional throughout communication, the overall situation was frustrating — particularly as the website did not indicate the items were out of stock, and I do not feel customers should be asked to pay more after completing a purchase. Under UK consumer law, the responsibility for sourcing stock after purchase sits with the retailer rather than the customer, so I would not expect any additional costs to be passed on in order to fulfil the confirmed order.
In the end I chose to cancel and purchase the same part elsewhere at a lower price without issue. AutoDoc has the part I required at £35 each, with a shipping fee of £8, totalling around £80. The original cost via Bilstein-shocks was around £90 (incl £12 shipping fee) they then asked for a further £35+ VAT. It was a no-brainer. It also seems that Bilstein-Shocks.co.uk source parts from Thyssenkrupp Bilstein, so you would most likely wait a week or two for the item to be delivered, same as AutoDoc if you are not in a rush and can wait for parts.
My advice to others: confirm stock availability before ordering, check other suppliers, as pricing and availability may change after payment. I can see that I am not the only customer that has encountered this issue with this dropshipper.
Hopefully this feedback helps improve transparency for future buyers.

Hello James,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re genuinely sorry that this order did not proceed as expected and that it caused frustration.
We understand how disappointing it is to receive a stock or pricing update after placing an order. In rare instances, due to the way performance automotive parts are distributed across manufacturer and supplier networks, availability and cost adjustments can occur between the time an order is placed and the point of supplier confirmation. When this happens, we always contact the customer before proceeding so they can choose whether to continue or cancel — as you did in this case.
To clarify, we operate through an authorised supply network rather than holding every listed item in a single on-site warehouse. This model allows us to offer a wider range of genuine parts, but it can occasionally mean we are reliant on real-time supplier confirmations. We apologise if our earlier wording around stock checks caused any confusion — that certainly was not our intention.
We also want to thank you for recognising our teammate's efforts to assist professionally throughout the communication. Our team’s priority is always to resolve matters respectfully and give customers clear options when circumstances change.
Your feedback regarding transparency has been noted, and we are reviewing how stock messaging and availability indicators are presented on our website to make this clearer going forward.
We completely respect your decision to purchase elsewhere and appreciate you sharing your experience. Feedback — even when critical — helps us refine our processes and improve clarity for future customers.
If you would like to discuss anything further, please feel free to contact us directly.
Kind regards,

HORRIBLE PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT LIVE UP…
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

Expect little contact and a long wait potn
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.
