Bilstein shocks?
 

Hi all not posted for a while it’s time to get the S8 back on the road and I need some new springs, so may as well put some shocks on at the same time as the mileage is over 180k and they may not be available in a few years. When I look at the Bilstein web site I can’t work out 100% which part number is for my chassis number (probably not much use ringing them as they just read it of the computer). I need a expert who has actually worked on a S8! Help MJ
Mine is a 2000 40 Valve AQH I can give the chassis number if needed (is it safe to do that over the internet?) thanks in advance Dave

In my best Hal voice.....

Hi Dave,

How are you doing Dave? :D

You should look at the B6 range if it's Bilsteins you want.
Both MJ and I are running Spax adjustables slightly lowered. They have done well on the track and road.

Hi mike i'm ok thank's yes it's the B6 range i have been looking at. It's the chassis number i am asking about really as i think mine is a early FL and i don't want to order the wrong parts. I'll have a look at the spax to are the rear shocks coil overs? as i can only find library pictures of the RSX on the web site. this would be strange and i'm not so sure i'm happy with that?
thank's Dave

Rears are not coil overs; separate spring and shock.
Try a PM to the D2 doctor. You'll get all the specs there.
