Fitting new Bilstein Shocks
« on: November 02, 2013, 11:12:53 pm »
Hi guys i have got myself a B12 kit consisting of B8 Sprint dampers and Eibach sportline springs. i want to take off existing OEM strut and keep complete, to make it easier to put back to stock at a later date. I have got new top mounts and strut bearings as well as the new damper and spring, will i need anything else, like buffer stop and protective cover for fronts?
i hope that makes sense.
thanks in advance

The B8 has integrated bumpstops so you don't use your exisitng ones
