Title: front shocks
Post by: pirate on 29 September 2011, 22:23:15
ive got a full set of eibach springs for my steinmetz estate thoughts are that bilstein b6 shocks would be best up front, eny one used these are thay worth the £180 each price tag ?got bisteins on back instead of air shocks much better.

I had a set of B6's on an MV6 a while back they felt pretty good. But I must add I bought B4's for my own MV6 as they were slightly cheaper being honest, they also complimented Steinmetz springs like they do Irmscher Springs too..

Hope that helps :y

I don't know if you know but eibach make the Springs for Steinmetz at there setting & rating etc though :y

lmf vauxhall parts seem to think that b4 are preety much a standard replacement if i want to push on or go down the route of more power the b6 is stiffer better for the job but double the price  ::)

I assume they must be better, and like you say they are rather expensive..... think your right about the B4's too....
At the end of the day its what you want to do with them :)

Got b4's all round on mine, plenty good enough imo. And wouldn't want to go stiffer personally. Also with 18" rims though.

My advise would be save your money and go for b4's. But as said it's a decision only the owner can make tbh.
