I had Bilstein, Eibach & HnR setup on the "Relic" five years ago.

The Bilsteins gave a 40mm drop all round, could someone tell me what I need to buy (with product code) as one of the shocks on the rear needs replacing...seen loads on net but don't know which I need.

Thanks again fellas, you're all beauts on this forum[/b]

The Bilsteins could be B2, B4, B6 or B8. We can't tell you which without more info.
What colour for a start?

Thanks Brian. They're yellow. Just straight shocks, no flanges or fancy bits on them

Been trying to get hold of the garage that fitted them where I used to live..may have gone bust.

Have a look for part numbers stamped on them. You can reference them off Bilsteins website to wrk out what shocks you have..

The yellow probably narrows it to B6 or B8, so here's a thread to confuse you further: http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=244903
