Bilstein Struts

[Rtth84]

anyone tried Bilstein B4 struts? compared to stock how much difference will there be in the handling?

[Mzrmazda3]

Should be slightly stiffer as compared to stock

 

I'm on B8s

[Rtth84]

will the shocks last with lowering springs?

 

cos i heard that stock shocks on eibach lowering springs will start to leak after more than a yr

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, previously i'm also on stock shocks with Eibach springs

Eibach is even on stock springs but expect the lifespan to be shorten say 20~30% How long it last depends on the way you lut your ride plus whether you carry heavy load bo

 

Since you are on the same combo as me, i would suggest that you take the B8s

 

B4 Struts is meant for using back stock springs if i'm not wrong

[Rtth84]

cos i bought over 2nd hand B4s from someone who used it for 3 months and change to Koni Yellows. and its really low price so i just take lor

 

and i checked bilstein catalogue only B4 for my ride

I see Bro

 

Blistein shocks are though they might be costly as brand new

 

You try and see if it can match with your lowering spring

Hi..i'm a bilstein user too, if not wrong B4 is something abit better then the original shock, might as well change to B6 instead for a better ride as well as handling..just my personal view..currently using B12 for my car...cheers:)

[Rtth84]

next step will be koni yellows alrady. really damn good no roll even when u-turning. now just temporarily try something slightly better than stock. no harm since its 2nd hand not very ex.

B12 is the one that comes with the spring right?

[Accord]

Yes..with lower spring...
