Title: Sport suspension
Post by: Sehen on 26 October 2011, 18:12:29
Hello.
My son needs some new shocks for his 95 2,5V6.
And he wants a lowered and stiffer ride. But he doesn't want it as low as my car.
I was thinking about the sport springs and shocks from the F/L sport model.
Does anyone have the p.nr. for the springs and the shocks? Or the ident. on the sport springs?

Here nobody wants to help me, unless they have the reg. number. (Those fu**ers) :)
I would appreciate some input on this, and thanks in advance  :y

Best Regards
Steve

General opinion now, its bilstein b4  :y

A set of B4 shocks is about £230 with UK delivery.

Facelift MV6 springs are just over £200 a pair, trade.


No idea of scandanavian prices, sorry

Likes of Eibach sports springs tend to be around same price, bit lower, bit stiffer.

IME, B4 is slightly sportier than the GM sports setup.

I have the N64 rear shocks and they are great. Huge improvement over stock. I was under the impression that B4 were OE replacement, B6 were firm and B8 were firm and lowered.

This is a link that I have posted before, I think its a great read. May want to check it out: http://cateraowners.forumotion.com/t108-catera-suspension-upgrades-part-1

Yea I could see that being the case, unless you were comparing them to worn out stock shocks  :D
