Bilstein B8 help

Post Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:58 pm

Hi,

I'm in the process of replacing my existing Boge front shocks with Bilstein B8 shocks.

I bought them second hand and they didn't come with strut collars. The old strut collars are knackered and they wouldn't fit over the wider B8 anyway from what I can see.

So is this something I can get from motor factors or is it going to be a Bilstein direct job?

I have 51mm struts btw.

They should come with the shocks, where did you get the shocks from?

Try companies that supply Bilstein's. ECP supply them again. You could try Bilstein's direct but I've read comments on here of them being a bit of a pain to deal with.. Never the less I would be getting in touch with them if I were you.

You can get most part numbers off their site..

Looks like Sanchez has a spare set. I just hope all Bilstein collars are the same!
