As said above Fellas,Has anyone on here tested the above mentioned or heard/read any reviews? I couldn't find any reviews on google so thought i would ask you lot. These are pretty new and have been developed by Bilstein and Eibach. I've been offered a new set for a good price, so i think i'll go for it. I know that the B8 and Eibach choice is very popular on here, so these will be good i guess. Any input appreciated  |

just spoke to demon-tweeks the b12 pro kit is, 2 x b8 front struts, 2 x eibach springs and 2 x rear dampers (unknown b?) cost is around £550 all in, which isn't too bad i suppose  , very temptingindividually (and approx prices) b8 x 2 = £300 b6 rear shocks x 2 = £200 eibachs x 2 £110 ________________________________________ FRESHLY RE-FURBISHED GTI BEAMSFITTING AND LOWERING AVAILABLE.

AFAIK they only do the Black B4's and Yellow B6's for the REAR of the 6. I've got B6's on mine Andy. In fact the whole "kit" above is on mine.________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

U can get the b8s for the rear i think as miles recommended me not to get them and use b6 instead, he said the b8s will be too stiff on the back________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

I was sure B6 and B8 were the same dampers but the B8 used shorter rods for lowered cars. They are in volvoland anyway..________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Don't push as much oil so they're not as sensitive, and they overheat faster, and can cavitate earlier too.________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Surely its against the terms of sale if they aren't as advertised though? I wonder what Bilstein would have to say? Crazy how a company like that could get away with misrepresentation________________________________________ Ex- Phase 3 China GTi-6 T-Reg |
