Standard or reinforced Bilstein springs? dampers?

Post by **ash1293** » 29 May 2019, 15:14

Suspect I have a broken front spring as the pasenger side is sitting a little low.

Trying to decide if I can pick up a second hand pair or just shell out for some new ones. If I go new Bilstein list two variants for the front, standard or reinforced.

For reference its a 1.9dg panel van leisuredrive conversion with hightop.

Any suggestions regards the standard or reinforced?

Unless you want to do the Oz outback or carry bricks around, standard springs are fine.

The above link should take you through to the catalogue.

E D I T: or should I just go with Brickwerks Suplex springs?

.... considering going a step further and replace dampers while I'm on.

Opens up another question Bilstein B4's or sachs dampers?

Bilstein B4’s are recommended. Drop Michael (sales@brickwerks.co.uk) an email at Brickwerks, he will advise according to your requirements.

Cheers, think I've decided to go with the bilstein B4 dampers over the sachs. Spring wise having been impressed with the bilstein B3 replacements on our other car I think I may give them a try.

Just waiting for some free time and a dry day - hopefully will be an easy swap around and I'll report back once done.
