Hi Guys I know some of you have bought the Bilstein Gas dampers for Mk2 8v's from Euro Car Parts - what part numbers where they (front and back) and where they the full struts (cos thats what I'm after)? I've got my eibach springs so I'm slowly buying the rest of the bits when funds allow! What bumpstops have you used with them as well? Cheers!
ive got the ECP cataoguwe here:- front shocks for Golf Jetta Mk2 (doesnt specify gti ) part no. 625440165 price 21.00 each rear shocks Golf Jetta mk2 gti part no. 625440195 28.00 each when i bought my shocks they came as a package with ventura springs(dont buy!!!) for 200 the bumstops didnt come thoh so i bought them outta VAG. it is an idea as well to the the spring top caps and everything else cause my were in poor condition.
i would have thought the front ones would be more than 21 quid each, mine were 30 a corner from dubsport. if i remember (which is highly unlikely) i'll have a look for a part number on mine tomorrow. i'm using standard VAG bumpstops and also have eibach springs. i wish i'd used G60 top mounts too but i didn't, oops.
Thats the price that were in the catalogue that i have. check out the website as well thats what they give. REMEMBER VAT still has to be added on to these prices!!
GSF list the complete front struts at 28+VAT each but they dont seem to list them for the GTi models....Rears are 24+VAT. Then again, Euro car parts list them as "g2" and dont mention GTi models either though so they are probably all the same. Im thinking of getting raceland dampers and eibach springs though as the raceland dampers are shorter than standard.
Yeah I wasn't sure about getting shorter dampers.... The Bilstein GAS are used in their 'streetline' lowering kit with -30mil springs so I think they'll be fine with the eibachs....
