Title: Fitting new Bilstein Shocks
Post by: micaerin on November 02, 2013, 11:12:53 pm

Hi guys i have got myself a B12 kit consisting of B8 Sprint dampers and Eibach sportline springs. i want to take off existing OEM strut and keep complete, to make it easier to put back to stock at a later date. I have got new top mounts and strut bearings as well as the new damper and spring, will i need anything else, like buffer stop and protective cover for fronts?
i hope that makes sense.
thanks in advance

The B8 has integrated bumpstops so you don't use your exisitng ones

just to be clear they are built into the shock? so will it still need the protective cover,
