Bilstein B4 shocks for Edition 30
Stu-ED30:
Alright people, hows it going?
My 2 rear FK shockers are knocking on my Edition 30 and I'm looking at replacing the full set of shockers. I have VWR -25mm springs fitted at the moment and I'm after a decent firm but still comfy ride rather than too harsh and crashy.
I've seen on Demon Tweeks website a full set of Bilstein B4's for £204 delivered. Which seems like a cracking price :happy2: Just before I go and order them I'd like to know if the part numbers are correct for an Edition 30 and if the B4's are a good choice?
The part numbers are -
Bilstein B4 Front Gas Shock Absorber
BLS22-140012
Bilstein B4 Rear Gas Shock Absorber
BLS19-140025
Cheers :happy2:

Bilstein B4's are the Budget brand would not be as good as standard vag ones mate,
You will find the ones you take out are stiffer.

Euro do the front Bilstein B4 shocks for you car £86.38 Pn 635442055 for the two fronts not what I would buy but
I've used their KYB Shocks much better budget/very good shock part number 635442542 £139 for the two but :happy2:
Rears try for KYB also Think the Sachs and cheaper Bilstein's are made in the same place found them to be two soft.

Cheers for the reply lads. I thought it seem to good to be true :confused:
Not sure what one's to go for now, I've heard good things about the H&R cup kit but its a bit out of my price range.

What I would say is spend a wee bit more now, I have fitted Cheaper B4's Scahs type shocks in the past and ended up selling the car because
I hated the feel of it and pissed at myself for not spending a few pound more and the time I spent fitting softer after market shocks than the oe ones I took out :stupid:
Spring wise H&R or Eibach can't go wrong ....Shocks I think trade Volkswagen are not to bad for them, or
use the KYB, I fit these to alot of Scoobys and jap stuff and would be stiffer than Standard stuff :happy2:
