Steeda ca!led me and told me the install procedure and 30 ft/lb rating.
great customer service.

Hi, where did you get the nut and washer for the Steeda mounts. I'm in the same situation.
Thanks.

I emailed Steeda and they sent me them for free.

I’ve been communicating with them but they just sent me basically the same hardware that comes with the mounts which do not fit the B6’s. Do you have a part number for this hardware?

 

[Chef jpd]

Sorry, I do not have that info.

Do you know which steeda tech you spoke with?

tell them you need the Bilstein parts. There is no SKU. They seemingly just grab parts out of the bin and stuff in a bag. They charged me $30 if I remember right...

Do you happen to know who you spoke with over at steeda that helped you with the parts?

Could try @tj@steeda

I could be wrong but don"t the bump stops go under the dust cover?

use a phone and talk(voice) to the sales guy(s). I don't rightly recall who it was ATM.

The BMW stops are designed to be only partially under the cover.

I asked because i’ve already been going down that route. Unfortunately, just telling them I need the bilstein parts didn’t work.

good grief. Ask for the tech department then I guess. I think most times I call I get Jaime Bell. But you might ask for Mike Delgado (owner?) and ask him to kindly get his crew in gear and create a proper SKU already. It's not like they don't sell the B6 on their own web page...

They want to sell their own stuff. Can't blame them for that. Can't blame yourself either for wanting to best. You'll love the Bilstein.
