bilstein b8

[Gt rob]

wheres the best/ cheapest place to get 2 rear bilstein b8 sprint dampers?

 

[Fred@BTM]

don't do them for the 172/182 from memory

 

[Gt rob]

theyre listed in demon tweeks for £99.66 each for rears, and b6 at £95.18

theres nothing for the RS models other than the B14 coilover kit. The B8's are for the smaller engined models.

They do them for the non sports which are the same fitment and rear axle load as the RS models. I paid about 80 each from a dealer in Germany.

As long as you don´t need them for the front, they´re fine!

 

[Gt rob]

yeah just rears, taking your advice on replacing rear h and r's

 

[mr.pink87]

Chrispy.clio is running them on the rear aswell iirc.

I'll check the part numbers on the B14 kit when they arrive next week to see if they are the same

 

[Gt rob]

brill,

 

[Gally]

Any reason why you would only change the rears? Mixing and matching with suspension doesn't sound great tbh.

 

[Gt rob]

one rears leaking

 

[Gally]

Ah fair point. Just wouldn't want to upset the balance on the rear of the car to the front.

 

[Gt rob]

H and Rs use bilstein dampers anyway, but to theyre spec

 

[Kam.]

I'd uprate the rears without doing the fronts as standard the car has a little understeer characteristic. This would dial in a bit more nervous handling which I like but to work properly needs to be combined with stiffer springs. Effectively this is what the whiteline kit similarly does with the stiffer ARB anyway..
