Title: bilsteins shocks from ECP
Post by: Cacwn Tew on 27 March 2010, 11:15

Hi - Just bought some Eibach springs and noticed when I fitted them that the shocks have gone a bit lazy.
Without spending a fortune I can get a full set of Bilsteins for £135 in Euro car parts.

Or do I sell the kids and spend all my savings??Comments welcomed please.

Thanks

Worth the money - make sure you get the Sports version though :afro:

Wazzzer just picked his up for £157 delivered - bastard.  I paid £200 for mine just before Crimbo  :cry: :cry:

Punch in your reg no - it should bring up a couple of versions, click on more info and it should say B4 Sports Suspension

Got mine from ECP too - obviously before they offered the discount  :sad:

Many thanks, it does work out at £157 when I chose the B4 +  sports.
Will make a purchase ready for next weekend.

I think these are the same as the Anniversary setup. The front shock I have even has a VW part number on it

The feedback from people on here and over on ukmkivs is all good  :wink:
