Full Version: Shock Question

96FormulaWS6
My 96 WS6 has the Eibach Pro kit. I want some Bilsteins that go good with my Eibachs.
It currently has Decarbon shocks. They may even be the original stock ones. Not sure if newer ones were put on.


On the Bilstein site they have a part number for the front and rear shocks for my car.

BUT...I assume that is for a stock height WS6.

Being lowered, does anyone know if that part number still applies?

No, it does not. Call them directly and tell them what you have and they will give you the proper number you need for what you have.

I do not believe there is a different set for lowered cars but Bilstiens have good enough quality that they would work with the lowered springs.
Stranoparts.com sells a revalved set of bilstiens (specifically the rears) that should work well with your Eibachs.
Remember that with any lowering spring your making the shock work harder because of the shorter travel. So a good quality shock is a must.
My first choice though would be Koni's because of there excellent quality and superior valving plus the ability to adjust rebound. I have these on my car with Strano Springs and the difference from the original setup is like night and day.
