I know they are listed for a ur, but I ordered other brands of shock inserts supposedly for ur quattros and they were wrong too. So before I ordered these I asked them to measure the cartridge length. Lo and behold they are about 1cm-1.5cm too long. (cannot remember exactly), you can't fit the threaded cap back over.

The part numbers I used were P36-3016-H2 (3011P36) Front & P37-3017-H1 (0811P36) Rear. Again, these were from Eurocarperformance. The price was £470, so make sure you haggle.

Those are bilstein B6.

The bilstein B4 fronts that MSW advertise don't fit.

are you certain that B4 bilsteins won't fit the ur quattro? i've seen them
advertised and the drop down menu to check what model they fit says
that they will..

theres a fairly easy solution.

i have the struts loose. MSW are in Strathaven.
i'll take my struts to MSW, and we can trial fit them

Yes that's correct, B6.

After some serious prodding (why is it no one calls back with answers?), the answer is-

B4 dampers
The bilstein catalogue (discussed directly with Bilstein) list Fronts only available, rears discontinued.
But when reviewing their part numbers, they cross reference to Type89 chassis cars, with 89******* and 8G0******* part number references.

So probably no bloody good at all.
---------------------------------------

B6 dampers

Fronts in stock in the UK. Rears in stock in Germany.

so. to satisfy your build then, craig- probably easiest and quickest to go with BOGE as you aren't looking for any uprates.

thanks for that information, mark - well, that puts that one to bed then!!

cheers!

No problem.

I think I may just go down the route of standard dampers myself at this rate.
