samdale Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I have a full set of OEM top mounts. I am going with whifbitz/eibach lowering springs. I need 4 X new German Bilstein dampers. (Where from?) 4 X dust boot cover things. (Again where best to get new?) Any other parts required? Are the bottom bolts anything special and recommend replacing for example? Links to any/all of the above much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samdale Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 There seems to be a few different ones though with the same part numbers. Those pictures are from europerformance.co.uk and whifbitz respectively. Same part number but completely different spring seat and lower mounting?

Rob W Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I got my Bilstein B6's off of Chris Wilson to go with my Eibach springs, he also machined in extra grooves for height adjustment if needed. The dust covers speak to TCB parts or your local Toyota dealership, they are surprising quite expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Once the part numbers correct id go for it. Usually sites use generic pictures to advertise shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdale Posted August 5, 2017 Author Share Posted August 5, 2017 The dust covers speak to TCB parts or your local Toyota dealership, they are surprising quite expensive. Fronts are £40.81 +vat. Does seem a bit keen. Just noticed TCB also sell "rear strut bump stop". No pictures but I'm assuming this is something else I need? Front and rear?

Dnk Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I'd look at getting non oe shock boots, some Bilsteins actually come with them https://www.summitracing.com/int/parts/bsn-e4b46-666c/overview/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the OE dust boot has a top part that sits between the top mount and top of the spring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 That was just an example of a Bilstein boot, CW is the man to ask if one fits the B6 damper available for the mkiv, i can't see why not but of course i could be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
