Best place to buy Blistein shocks?

[diesel des]

Im torn between the billys, and konis... Which are most durable on these big boats..

[merlin's S4]

I have used proven products a couple of times no probs either, on my ur s4 i went for koni's back and front which went ok with the H&R springs, the springs imo were too low, koni's were fine though. On my s6 i have now gone for bilstein fronts but not the super hard ones they do an oem range which seem fine, better than standard but not harsh at all. I did use bilstein sport gas on my old 90q and found them hard great for out and out handling but a hard ride and that was on stock springs. if you are doing the fronts on the Urs4/6 then try and get a hold of the audi tool for undoing the retaining collars, it makes it a 15 minute job each side.

I agree that the Audi tool would have been very handy but I just about managed with some wd40, a wrench and a hammer!

Ok, i now have two sets of billies,

One from a forum member and one from Ebay:

Part nubers are:

F4-P30-3006-HO x2 Link for bilstein Catalog
F4-P36-3058-HO x2 Link for bilstein Catalog


F4-P36-3017-HO x2 Link for bilstein Catalog
F4-P36-3086-HO x2


Could someone shed some light as to which ones are for th 3B (i think first set), im guesing the second set is for ABY? - coudlnt find any listings for the ABY on there site..


Thanks in advance.

i had the same problem bo, when my first set arrive they didnt fit, even tho bilstein said that was for the s2, i can never remember which wa round it was whether it was the small or large thread that fitted. i can try and find out for you tomorrow though if thats any use!?

Cheers Matt,
Only if its not to much trouble..
Im just trying to find out which of the dampers are the correct ones.


Thanks.
Bo

it's the larger thread, I know to my cost as I have a pair of unused smaller thread bilsteins sat in the garage. Can't return them as I bought them in the US, they are half the price of what they are in the UK.

So basically the dampers Bo has are:

F4-P30-3006-HO - Sprint - Front CQ
F4-P36-3058-HO - Sprint - Rear CQ and S2

F4-P36-3017-HO - Sport - Rear CQ and S2
F4-P36-3086-HO - Sport - Front S2


So to clarify, the dampers that are no good to Bo are the ones marked F4-P30-3006-HO.
