RS2 Bilstein fitting advice?

[s2avant]

Just to add a bit more into the mix I have several different grooves machined in my rear struts. Before I had the bump and rebound modified on my front struts it sat level with a grove around 20mm lower than the original. Now the front struts have been 'tweaked' the back is lower than the front so needs to move up a groove. I will wait until the rears have been 'tweaked' first though and see how it sits then.

Ben, You need the same as what I did for mine!

Steve,
Just let me have them and I'll turn you some new grooves.

That's an ideal solution to the problem.

is this the groove that you guys meant?
if it is, what is it for actually?

Good idea, first I'll get me some spring compressors.

I beleive it holds the alloy spring platform in place, which you can see in the pic above the grooves.

And here is the mod:



For those that dont know the alloy hat sits on the lower ring which is 20mm lower than the standard ring height.

How does the Bilstien set-up with standard RS2 springs handling & ride compare: 1) To standard RS2 set-up. 2) Koni's with standard RS2 springs

having just read this post... can i confirm before i get these machined that it is 20mm towards the lower mount...and this is for standard ride height springs....

I have searched and it only came back with a few results....
Can anyone tell me how deep the groove should be?...or the diameter the circlip now rests in?..

There was another post that said get a few grooves machine in so you can set it up exactly to your car

Ill take a pic of my car and post it up today. I think it could come down another 5mm to be level with the front.

cheers jamo....and golfboy......

Here is a pic of my RS2. The car is on standard springs with Bilstiens. The rear Bilstiens have the 20mm mod:

[europeanme]

happy??...or would you have gone an extra 5mm or so??....

I am asking this as mine are about to go off for machining and want to get it right first time...save an grief later on...

nice RS by the way!!....

[europeanme]

you can overdo it



and i think 13mm wont be enough...

Are the multiple grooves so different springs can be used??... for driving on the track, road etc.....
