    Recommended suppliers for Behr radiators and Bilstein shocks?

    Can anyone advise me on the best suppliers for these brands please?
    I seem to recall GSF could supply Behr, I just spoke to my local branch and they can only supply Nissens. Do I need to call head office to place a special order?
    I also remember there was a chap named Yaz on here who was good to deal with. Is he still the man to talk to about all things Bilstein?

    Thanks for any input.

      I have order some Bilstein B6 from AutoDoc recently. They were about £20 per corner cheaper than the cheapest UK supplier i could find. No problem with the delivery either - it was within the week and that was over the christmas run up period.

        I bought a Behr from gsf a few years ago. Think I phoned the number on their website. Hope they still do them.

        Bought my Bilsteins from europerfomance.co.uk. Good service and quick delivery.

                Be careful here. I believe the correct rad would have a 42mm thick core (I just measured one!). It also needs to have the correct plumbing depending if you want to retain the aux rad or not. Some rads have similiar dimensions but have a 34mm core. Think they are from the Type 85
                There is some info on here about the differences but I can't find it.
