Anyone Know There Bilsteins?

[Sam M]

Hi,

My r34 gtt came with bilstein shocks and king springs, I am considering raising it slightly but only if the bilstein shocks have the machined grooves with circlips than I can adjust - (I dont want to replace all the springs).

The problem is i know not all bilsteins are like this - and the pedders guy quoted me like $260 just to have a look and tell me (which if the answer is no they're not, im essentially throwing money away).

So anyway i had a look under the car and the front shocks have this written on them

E4FT2 Z003A01

and the rears..

E4FT2 Z007A00

I assume its some form of part number - and tried researching it too no avail..

I know its a long shot but does anyone know which type of shock this part number belongs too - and weather or not the circlip adjustment of where the springs are attached will be possible?

thanks

Sam

get under ur car and look at them, see if they have grooves machined in the shock around the lower seat.

i will have another look bt when i first did it appeared to be covered where i needed to look

Contact Quadrant Suspensions in Berwick - they are distributors for Bilstein.

It should cost about $60 each groove to cut extras to suit the height you need. But thats after they are off the car of course.

Make that $45 per shock for 5 additional grooves = $180 for all 4 shocks.
