A set of Bilsteins in my 03 TD cruiser have done 60 k klms and are so worn they can't be rebuilt. I have just replaced them with OE shocks for $207 as opposed to $940 for 4 more Billys. The OEs have 12 month warranty so I figure the klms I do I can replace them nearly 5 times for the cost of a new set of Billys. If Toyota can build and market 4 shocks for $200 how can the aftermarket justify the high cost. Billys are good but not 5 times better and throw away after 60k klms when they are advertised as rebuildable. Nothing seems to be built to last these days.
