Bilstein b14 on 200

[jimbob200]

Hey guys,

Is anyone running Bilstein B14's on a 200??

What's the ride like?

I'm basically wanting to take the arch gap out of the car and for price of new standard shocks and lowering springs I'm not far off these so thinking may assess go for the B14's unless people Have reservations??

Anything bilstein will give good handling and ride tbh mate. From what I've read, they're slightly harsher than the oem cup pack spring/damper combo, but nothing horrendous.

There's a few guys over on 197.net that run them, and @cliosport-carl runs them iirc?

I'm on cup shocks and h&r springs. It's a very good combo, and also offers a nice ride height reduction.

Are you also running spacers? That seems a popular route, I've looked at a few combinations such as the set up you've got with the H&R springs.

The biggest problem is I see something, like it add it to my list and something else equally as good comes along! (I'm sure I'm not the only one).

Yeah it's on 20mm h&r spacers front and rear mate.

Lol! Yeah I know what you're saying! I've just had a full set of ds2500's from GeorgeRTR on here, not because I needed them, but because I'd decided I wanted them all round! 🙈
The pads that are fitted are still like brand new! Flol

Thanks for your thoughts using RPD cup shocks are £420 then a set of h&r's are £115 (total £535) and the b14 kit is on ktec for £683 I was totally sold on the b14's until a friend that runs a garage started knocking coilovers earlier and made me think maybe best to ask pool that have run the kit on the cars......

Well I'd get a quote from renault Wolverhampton as well personally mate. They may be cheaper....
Coilovers ain't as bad as your mate is making them out to be buddy, trust me. You may just get a few knocks from them that's all.

B14's are ace. For the cost difference above I'd save and choose them.
