Bilstein Shocks

PostPost by: fjbm » Sun Aug 17, 2008 2:12 pm

Hi everyone

Have anyone ever fitted Bilstein front and rear shocks?

I'm considering using good 165/80-R13 rubbers with and looking for a ride height of - 1" than the std.

Anyone has their number reference? I cannot find it anywhere!

Any other suggestion?

I had Bilsteins in My Honda Accord Type-R and they made a big difference...

Thanks

Hi,

we did think about Bilsteins as the Koni and Spax seem too fragile for the hammering we give them on our everything-but-tarmac rallies! I'd be interested to hear how you get on if you do fit them as rally friends say they're good (just they cost a little more!

I have a UK phone number if that's waht you mean by reference it is 01455 283 407.

Keep in mind that Hondas are notoriously underdamped and any sporting damper would probably have made a big difference. What are you running now?

Hi

I do not have anything now :D ... I'm still in the middle of the restoration...

What I meant for reference is part number... i.e. Koni's are 82-1027 front and 82-1081 rear, right?

Cheers
