Bilstein B8 suppliers (Audi coupe B4)
I'm wondering if anyone has sourced some Bilsteins for their coupe B4? I'm preferably after a B8 kit with shortened dampers as I want to mate with 40mm+ all round H&R springs. Yet again trying to source new parts for this model is starting to test me. So far the best place I've tried is Larkspeed. Demon tweeks were being arsey and telling me to go for something else and C&R were astronomical in price. Anyone tried anything else other than Bilstein?
Your recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Steve |

Steve,
Have you tried these people? They are located in Basildon on the Eastern side of the town just off the A127. https://www.gazshocks.com/ Different beast I know but I have the "standard" ones on my Volvo Amazon rally car and I have found them excellent. They have a gas-filled option and also have an in-house design capability so they shouldn't have too much difficulty in fabricating to your requirements. No connection other than a satisfied customer. Chris. |

If you already have those units, you might consider having them refurbished. I had my B6 units refurbished through Balance Motorsport who worked out some different damping rates to suit car better. I actually went direct to pick them up from Bilstein in Leicester when they were ready.
May be worth getting in touch with both companies. HTH

Yeah they’re only 10 miles up the road from me and to be honest I’m done with ride height being a bloody lottery so may as well get a quote for the rear at least. Thanks for reminding me they existed :-)
