Heads Up About Bilsteins On Ebay

[Factory 5]

bilsteins on ebay

Just a heads up for those looking at purchasing these for their car.

Make sure you get all specifications and rates etc confirmed before buying.

I have been told they may not be the real deal, or the actual specs etc are not known or similar circumstance.

Hi Guys,

It was I that asked MAG86 to post this, as I was asked by a few people that were thinking of purchasing these shocks.

I have spoken to Heasman's in Sydney and they tell me they could be the real deal, but are certainly outside of factory spec and the guy wont disclose what the spec is.

For my money, if your not looking at coilovers, I would be looking at Koni regardless of the money.

I stick by the old rule, "IF it sounds too cheap, it usually is" Don't be caught short looking for a deal. Be very sure what your buying before out laying the hard earned cash.

Cheers, D

I also make a point of not buying anything from e-bay that has spelling errors in the listing...

Thanks for the heads up all the same, gents.

That's bullsh!t, because a 100% perfect feedback can be BOUGHT using ebay's "sqare trade" system.

If you don't like a feedback you can pay square trade and have it removed.

Hey Ghostrider and everyone else. These are being sold by me. I am the only person in Australia to have them, and they are the real deal. If anyone has any problems or questions about the authenticity of these Shocks, please ring David at Quadrant on 9769 9666 to verify that I am a legitimate reseller of these shocks. I source them direct from Germany through Quadrant, and have done for over a year. I am the only stockist of R31 Bilsteins in Oz, and had to invest a hell of a lot of money to stock them.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I go to a lot of trouble to source and/or reproduce parts for these cars.

I hope that clears it up. This rumour started when I was asked a question about how adjustable the bilsteins were by an ebay user. I replied that they are not adjustable like Koni's are adjustable, but the rears can be adjusted by height before bolt up. The ebay user accused me of being a fraud after I replied to his question, as he believed all Bilsteins were adjustable, which they are not. Some are, these are not, and never have been.

For the record, my ebay feedback is legit.

Rears are the same as your R30, will get some measurements on fronts for you matey.

[Ghostrider]

Cazz,

What is the minimum length & stroke of the rears?

Cheers, D

I don't know the specs Dennis, I just know that DR30, HR30, R30, R31 and HR31 Sedan and coupe are all the same part number.

Cheers
