Post by oscar olop gti »

At the minute I have eibach -50mm spring fitted with the standard
shockers.

Anyone know the best aftermarket shockers to buy :?: I know coillies

Bilstein do two types of uprated shocks. you can get either the B6 Sports or the B8 Sprint shortened shocks, if you want i'll take a look to see what sorta price i can get them for...

From my experience the bilstein monotube dampers are some of the best quality dampers you can get...

B6's are only really intended for anything up -20mm lowering springs.

23. By how much can I lower the body with the B6 Sports (not the shortened version) using shorter springs?

By up to 20 mm. A shock absorber with shortened stroke is required when lowering by more than 20 mm.
