Slight Lowering

Post Thu Aug 22, 2013 10:18 am

Hi,

I'm looking to go for a set of Bilstein B6 shocks all round. Currently the car is running at the original non M-Tech ride height. I don't want to lower much if at all, but was after some advice as to suitable up-rated springs ranging from 0mm - 25mm lowering.

Thanks for any help!

I think B6 are used with lower springs and B4's with standard springs/mtech -15mm springs or a slight drop.

Cheers Sanchez,

From what I've been reading B6's can be suited to minimal lowering (up to 30mm) and are a more sporting alternative to the OE spec B4's?

Can you advise any springs that will give a lowering in the region of 15mm?

How would M-Tech springs compare to my standard non tech springs?

this is direct form bilstein it tells you about the b4 , b6 and b8

b6 like you say can be used with or without standard springs

Thanks for that!

that makes me further convinced that I want to go for B6's although would like some stiffer springs to accompany?

Cheers
