My shocks are showing signs of oil mist, so I'll be in need of a set, should anyone else have a surfeit, or need anyone to go halves on a set. :y

I've got an odd 1 of the GM estate sleeves - bought pack of 5, used 2, moved 2 on, got 1 left.

Let me now if any use to anyone.

If you Elite an MV6, does that make it an MVee-leet?

Saloon and estates are different lengths, saloons are longer ;)

Yes, and for Bilstein's you need to use the estate ones regardless  ;)

Measured the shaft end of B4,s to compare with OEM shocks and as advised by previuos posts the B4,s are around 12mm shorter meaning the  original GM fixing set will not fit and will require either using that supplied with the shocks or sourcing fixing set for an Estate.

Spoke with Dealers this morning and both upper and lower rubbers are only available from Germany and the metal sleeves need to be ordered in a bag of 5  :-\ despite all cars only ever needing 2 ...typical GM. >:(

How bad are the fixing supplied by Bilstein as cant see any real solution now ?

I ordered those just a few weeks ago and they arrived pretty quickly - about 4 days I think.
