indo, isn't this some kind of a joke? 
If you are serious and if we are talking about the same cone washers, yes you need to immediately get the car on lift and off any weight bearing - NO MORE DRIVING without the washer!
A couple of questions:
1. How much have you driven the car without the washers? If you have, the shafts might have been bent, weakened, or damaged already. Get them inspected, especially at the neck where the washers are supposed to be. Good luck!
2. Did you buy this Bilstein coilover new? I thought new ones now come *with* the washers so that it's almost impossible to miss them?

Any idea on where to get the best pricing for the Bilstein coil-overs? I think AWE has a pretty good price on them but wondering if you can think of any other place?

Good luck and have fun. You won't regret this as the Bilstein Damptronic will transform your car. Stiffer, lower, more precise - in every aspect, a much better and more fun "sports" car. Oh and please use a professional and experienced installer, in your area, the boys from EVOMS would get my vote for installation.

I drive it around 100km , i just checked today that the magical washer already there
, i think bilstein already put the washer on the damptronic unit, but only the front side. sadly i forgot to put the washer for the rear side, i have to redo it again

New Bilstein should come with washers front and rear AFAIK. Doesn't make sense at all that they will ship with front and not rear, because that will be even more dangerous than not shipping with any.
At any rate, when you take the rear suspension apart, if the washers are not there, it would be a good idea to inspect the shaft for crack, bent, damage, etc., right at the spot where the washer is supposed to be.

1. Did you take a picture? Post it here and see someone would comment. Also look at Gary's response to me in post #42 in this thread.
2. Call Bilstein and ask if you could send above picture to them by email so they could confirm- you don't have to tell them where you are from either

If you miss that sale I think tire rack @ $2650 is probably the next best.
What are installs for these running? Looks like a lot of work esp for a cab...

Had the opportunity to sit down with the 997 Porsche Suspension engineer and when i told him I wanted to lower the car and replace the suspension with a Bilstein coil over suspension i got a response in 35 parts on why i was crazy to do this.
Do you feel the Bilstein to be better than the stock suspension?
