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

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.

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
