Iky Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Im after some excellent condition low mileage bilsteins. One's that don't knock or aren't seized only please. I have about £150-£200 to spend. Im not really after any springs as I plan on using my stock tt springs. Old and knackerered ones need not apply (had to write that bit- once bitten, twice shy) Thanks, Iky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iky Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 just sold a set on ebay for £77 with tein lowering springs... Really? Ive been on the lookout for a while now, must have missed them. Edit, Ah, found them. I have to be honest and say, it was the mileage that put me off unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iky Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 I was hoping SpikedJack would sell me his off his 1998 low miler but I think he may have already sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robzki Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Afaik Chris Wilson hasn't got any S/h ones left as I nabbed the last two earlier I may be wrong though so worth a check, he does however do new ones at a very reasonable price, well worth an email or phone call(no pm's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just kidding! Anyway, I thought Spikedjack was offering you some Bilsteins on your wanted thread for your coilovers? After I've got these, I'll have two sets of stock black shocks. Im sure you could probably make one good set from two? You can have them for postage/collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Yeah but his are on the car, I'm trying to find some while mine is in the garage so it doesn't have to go back again. Sorry to crash your thread. Ill take you up on the offer. I assume they are off a tt but some are not great nick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to crash your thread. Ill take you up on the offer. I assume they are off a tt but some are not great nick? No worries, yes, i'd say 2, maybe 3 out of the whole lot are a bit odd. By odd i mean the resistance they put up when pushing the rod by hand felt moreso soft/hard compared to the others. I know for sure that one of the fronts out of the four was knocking. i got fed up with pissing about. I also have a set of springs that were sold to me as u.k spec but i didn't feeel any difference between them and my stock TT ones. Although the fronts do make the car sit a bit lower than the tt ones. I would assume that they are stock NA springs. Actually, just remembered my stock tt front ones are tokico and the others are kyb. Anyhow, if nobody wants them after ive got some bilsteins, they will be binned. So your welcome to them.
