I've read about people having them but my first set of Bilsteins were not grooved.

I believe Nuespeed used to be the source for those. Or you can ship them to Bilstein

and they groove them for $10 per groove.

I had them...m...

If you get them (I have Koni FSD now, much better ride), make sure that you grease the grooves because they WILL corrode over time (I did not). I moved them once with no issue, but about a year later, I moved them again and with the corrosion, it was very difficult to do. We were able to do it, but I was worried. I've since switched to Koni FSD and threw away my Bilsteins. I would have been uncomfortable if anyone would try to use them with all the corrosion.
