Bilstein shocks, where to get them???

[bazookachicken]

Hi all,

Does anyone know where you can get the Bilstein shocks from??
I'm considering a set for my avant along with some H&R's as it looks more like I'm going to go for a more track focused set up than originally planned (nice and hard!!)
Problem is I can't find any for sale. The Bilstein website doesn't seem to list them (possibly discontinued?)
If Koni's are the only way to go now, then I will go with them and the H&R's but aside from being a bit stiffer I've also not read of any problems fitting the Billie's, but there are a few posts about problems with spacers and stuff with the Koni's and I don't really want to get into the hastle of all that.

Thanks for any help !!!

Could try asking Corey, he seems to know a bit seeing his coil over post, other than that i dont know personally other than searching tuneing sites, sure someone else may have a better idea though..

[s2avant]

Not sure where you would source them from but the part numbers are as follows:

Front PE3-3086

Rear BE3-6212

You won't find them under Avant on the Bilstein site as they dont list them. You have to use S2 Coupe front dampers and B5 S4 rear dampers. There is a thread by MaRS2 here which details the fitment. The B5 S4 rear dampers make the car sit slightly higher at the rear due to the spring plate position. The thread details how to change this but I didn't do this as it is purely cosmetic.

I know that Jamsport in Northampton are a Bilstein dealer, as I got them from there for my last car.
Give Mark a call on 01604 755529 and say Martyn gave you the number
If they are still available, they will be able to get them (and fit too if needed)

Yeah I've already spoken to Corey about going the Koni route and getting him to fit them etc cause I'm looking for an exhaust and some Porsche brakes at the same time really (didn't ask about Bilsteins though I must admit).

But I'm impatient and I want things done yesterday on the car LOL!! So I'm looking at saving myself the labour costs and doing it myself. (just weighing up the pro's and con's at the moment really)

Plus I have to appreciate that Corey is busy because he's one of the best out there.
So it's a bit of a toss up between waiting for Corey and going with my original plans and paying for someone else to do all the work and also losing my car for roughly 2 weeks while it's all done (mainly the exhaust fabrication though and fitting me in with everyone else)
Or buying a Miltek system, Bilstiens, brakes from ebay etc and doing it all myself and saving on the labour costs and stuff.

Just want to make sure I've looked at all the options really before I start shelling out boat loads of cash

Just wondered about the Bilsteins and where to get them really as they seem to come highly recommended yet nowhere seems to sell them.

I've got time anyway I'm just too eager to get it all finished so I can get out there and enjoy a well sorted S2!!!!

@ S2avant those will be very helpful I'm sure

@ dest thanks also I'll give them a ring later and see what they've got to say

JamSport are also Milltek dealers
i got them to order me just a rear silencer (most places tell you its not possible!) and they then built me a custom centre section to remove the rear box

I have a set of 2x PE3-3086 and BE3-2622 sitting around here.That was on a car for 2 hours...

They always seem to be the cheapest place online for Billies. Certainly when I have ever bought them I've always used those guys.

Actually they are the nominated importer, most companies get their Billies from ECP

Jamo, You mean FROM ECP right?
I ordered from motorsportworld and they had ecp part number stickers on them

Bought them from MSW, the fronts for the coupe that is - cost £220 delivered inc. VAT if i remember correctly at the time, but that was a little bit below their list.
