Bilstein B8 Comfort Shocks

Featured Replies

I recently bought some and just had them installed as the front shocks of the B12 kit had started to leak and I wanted some additional comfort!

Will give a fuller review once they are bedded in.

Sorry for the delay, I letting the suspension settle.

 

So far so good.  The suspension is more comfortable than the B8 yellow struts and there has been slight impact on the handling which is acceptable - I have to turn the steering wheel in more. 

They are much more forgiving on bumping road and great on the motorway, very stable at high speeds. Im still using the same Eibach springs I got with the B12 kit.

 

Overall Im pleased with them, it was a good compromise

So its a year in the shocks are properly embedded and the car feels great.

 

Comfort is like standard, the ride does become unsettled on a rough road.  Really pleased with them

 

I imported them from Germany as there is only 1 distributor.  I'm sure Larkspeed sell them now.
