4D0413031CD isn't listed on Tradition or ebay.

The B12 kit does sit the S8 at about stock ride height. Its made with B6 dampers rather than the B8s as far as I can tell - they certainly aren't any shorter than the stock Sachs units.

I am in the process of rebuilding my suspension with Bilstein B6 dampers. I am using the old springs, but have had them re-painted.

I used parts numbers 24-066785 & 24-026161 and got one pair from Autodoc and one pair from www.bilsteinsuspensionstore.co.uk (as that was the cheapest way). Cost just under £500 for all four.

Nowhere near to the point of driving the car though, so cannot tell you how they feel unfortunately!

Those are fronts. Rears are not available, but luckily don't tend to wear out.

4D0512169D if you want to try and find some - I've previously drawn a blank but its always worth poking around just in case
