Default FX3 Shock Actuator

Where can I find a FX3 Shock actuator? Ecklers and MidAmerica (which used to sell them for less than $200 each) have discontinued them. GM prices are outrageous. Even Jeff's price is over $350 each.

Go to the dealer list on the Bilstein website. There are several there with on line catalogs that list actuators. The actuators run about 139 bucks. The actuators were on backorder a few months back. Hopefully they are still available.

Thanks, everyone for the help. I've used Doug Rippie before, but just didn't think of him for this. The Bilstein website is great, too. I had never been there.

Still no joy other than Jeff Kopp. He at least has them.
Evidently they have been backordered. Maybe supply will loosen up soon.
For $150 savings on each, I can wait.
