So mk5 people,
I thought I would share the "reliability and safety" Bilstein have portrait on us over all these years.
Suspension has travelled less then 30000km's I'm sure of it. As all labels etc are all still intact and un damaged.
So it could be less than that distance even.
Over here in NZ, the official Bilstein agents basically don't want to know anything or help.
I did not buy these brand new, just incase you are wondering.
The distributors "apparently" cannot provide replacement parts. Not so much as a good will gesture either.
Instead they are giving me the run around, So I can go get custom springs made.
Thankfully we were traveling less than 25km's when this happened.
Been using Bilstein suspension for almost 12 years now exclusively, now I feel I should look at a different brand all together.
If anyone know or has any contacts with Bilstein and would be willing to help that would be great.
Otherwise, what other brand suspension would people recommend for an MK5 GTI DSG?
Now for the photo's.
