Bilstein B6, B8 H&R lowering springs

Post by Chris1981 » Thu May 17, 2018 3:55 pm

Having upgraded to BC coil overs I am selling my old Bilstein and H&R set up.

Its a mixed bag due to my eagerness to resolve the off-roader stance the car came with after a previous owner replaced rear springs with non M-Sport, as such have listed prices individually as well as a complete package. I ran with this set up for almost a year and the handling was superb but as a daily driver it was becoming too much hence changing to coil overs so i can have the best of both worlds!

Local collection preferred due to size but can arrange postage at buyers cost, I'm based in Rugby, Warwickshire.

Complete set up - £375
Front and Rear Dampers - £350

Individually;
Bilstein B8 Front Dampers - approx 10 months old and 8k miles - £250

H&R lowering spings - approx 12 months old and 10k miles - £50 - Please note these are very low, the fronts did not fit the B6 front shocks I initially bought hence ending up with B6 rears and B8 fronts (wish i hadn't fitted the rears first so I could have swapped all 4 for B8s!), they fit on M-Sport dampers nicely and B8's but will not fit SE or B4/B6 as they are too short.

How the car looked with the full set up on...

I feel I have priced fairly as this is less than half of what I paid and the parts were fitted for less than a year but let me know if you think I'm being greedy.

Thanks

D'oh... sorry basil!

Thanks Anmarube, will pm you address to arrange collection.

Nash3vans, if you can make it £225 that gets me the £350 I wanted for the shocks combined and I'd be very happy? :thumbsup:
