I’m having a difficult time sourcing replacements. Any idea as to where to look? Thanks.

Bilstein in CA I would think a B4 is a Bil product

So I also was in need of replacement boots for my sport Bilsteins I believe these are called B8 now.
But after many phone calls there seems to be no way of purchasing actual Bilstein boots...
So I want to share I bought these Blue boots from Summit and they fit very well, some minor rotary file work to open the top hole to fully seat at top of shock but the bottom is just right, made of silicone I think so a little stretch over the strut housing and a cable tie at the bottom.

Hope this helps someone,
Jeff

Would have been my suggestion. I installed these on some used Billies about 3 months ago.
