I am replacing the Firestone W01-358-8087 air bags for the Dana Kirkstall IFS 84 suspension. As many of you know these are special order and the delivery time is six to eight weeks, plus the price is double what it should be.
I have asked the vendor how many would need to be ordered to get a price break.
My question to the forum is how many of you would want two? And are you willing to pay up front?

If I can verify that these fit my front end, I am interested. What price have you been quoted?

The price I was quoted if we buy 10 sets, was 242. They are normally 292.
I will wait about a week before I either buy just a set for me, or make a bulk purchase to get the discount.

Richard,
I paid $295 delivered about a year ago. I wonder what Newell would charge. Whatever it is might be worth it should you need a bag in a hurry. Russ

Thanks Marius,
That prices makes all the bulk order moot, since that did not include reshipping to all the individual buyers.
Oh well, I had good intentions, but I will go with Marius's source.

Richard, who did you order the W01-358-8087 bags from? SDTruckSprings.com was out of all 3 types of bags needed for my coach. I ordered the Drive bags from Michigan Truck Spring because they had them in stock, but they called Firestone about the 8087 and 9378 bags and were told:
- 8087 special order 8 at a time custom made. Thus, why I would like to know where you ordered?
- 9378 discontinued with no replacement

my tag bags i couldnt find so i spent time on the firestone site looking for nearly identical bags. i checked with firestone and they agreed with my choice. they worked fine. so you might consider the same.
