Bilstein Shock Absorbers for '85 ur quattro

geneandbolly · 18-06-13, 06:41 PM

the quattro has been in for a service to JL Engineering and amongst a few other things, james told me that i need new shockers all round and he said to get the original bilstein ones for the car.

does anyone have a new set for sale? what kind of money could i expect to pay for these?

thanks,

craig

thanks for that eddy. i noticed that the a&m place lists VAG original and koni for the ur quattro - i'm assuming that the VAG original ones are not bilsteins like james had asked me to get?

Ur quattros had BOGE shocks fitted from the factory I think.

lefthooker is correct, boge are the oem shock. Bilstein B6 are significantly dearer but apparently really good.

I may be organising a group buy of dampers shortly, billies or Konis. Otherwise-

If you want Boge. OEM
Quattro corner
GSF

Or, try Motorsport world for Bilsteins

any idea what kind of price you'd be talking for a set, mark? dialynx have them for £90 odd a corner over 60 odd for the OEM ones. i don't honestly know if i'd spot the difference as i didn't even notice that the ones that are on it are shot!!

You're right. My UR is currently running the Boge OEM. They came from GSF for about £60 per, back about 7 years ago. They were fine for knockhill a few times, and still going strong now. The originals that came out were about 20yrs, and 140k miles.

(The only reason I am considering Bilsteins or Konis is to go with the uprated springs that Harvey had made a couple of years back. Otherwise, I would stay with the OEM, too)

If you are running a more or less standard car get boge from gsf ( use their offer code too for 10% off extra) I use gsf more or less weakly these days and they are good
