Bilstein HD delivery
Hi,
I took delivery of set of Bilstein HDs today.
I wonder if the rear dampers should not contain parts 6,7,8 in the PET too?
Or is this all you get?
Thanks for your input.

Mine did not come with those pieces either. I reused the old ones I think (been a while). I also got mine from Shox.com. It was the cheapest place I found and got them in a few days.

The bump stop (#8) is not required on the Bilstein rear shocks, as they have an internal bump stop - I THINK. It is either front or rear, and my memory is not 100% sure any more. I recall contacting Bilstein tech support, and they confirmed which shock does not require the external bump stop.
(you might find that if the bump stop is used, then with the lowered stance the shock may ride very close to the bump stop and thus significantly change your spring rates. I have a really good article on the contribution of bump stops to the overall spring rates - by design. It is written for 996 suspensions, but the principles are the same. If I can figure out how to upload the article, which is a series of fairly large pdf files - anyone help me post these?)

Hi guys,
Thanks for your input.
I actually got them from Tirerack at the same price as Shox.com. These beauties were on my door step 2day after the order was placed. My dog was very-very interested in them too...

must try harder
Hi,,
The old targa I have is a 1990 row model,,I wanted to buy all singing and dancing shiny suspension for my Pink car(rubystone, non metallic ,rs colour) and put its old stuff on the targa,but it doesn't fit I am told.
So the targa gets it first .
The part numbers would help my research for the best price.
Thanks again Gaz
