Bilstein B12

[spookie]

How about the Bilstein B12 for the W202? Does anyone here has it and can say how is the car to drive? Presently I have H&R suspensions but they are really hard to drive lots of kilometers and I can get the B12 for a good price.

Thanks for your comments

Sorry I can't say if they are any good because I have not used them but I heard that Bilstein are the best so I say go with them, a bit stiff but its better than koni

[spookie]

Isn´t it Brabus who take Bilstein?

[Ashkan's C280]

you mean Brabus uses their sus and puts Brabus name on it? maybe but from what i've seen before springs a company makes for another company maybe better than the one they sell... and Brabus makes a sus for 202's????

[spookie]

Thats what a ex-Brabus-man said, they bought the Bilstein Kit for 400 Euros and sell it with Brabus logo for 1500 here in Germany

[Ashkan's C280]

i'd pay the 11 extra for the logo... can we still get them?

[spookie]

I'm not sure I understand your question. You are asking...because I like Koni better than Bilstein why don't I like Vogtland shocks???

Vogtland is a spring company, they know springs. Koni is shock company they know shocks.

And for those that don't know, most Vogtland labeled shocks are from Koni. Most (maybe all) Koni springs in the Koni sport kits are made by Vogtland.

I like what rides/handles best to me...

[Ashkan's C280]

well I meant if you like their springs why don't you use their shocks too, but what a company makes for another company maybe better than what they sell as their own brand

because I like my Koni Externally adjustables...

why would liking one vendors springs automatically make me want their shocks?

I guess I still don't understand what you are asking...

[Ashkan's C280]

i just thought since their springs were so good their shocks would be as well, and on another note, can komp be added to the c280? if anyone has links let me know

[KWiK]

sorry, I was thinking you had a V6. Those Kleemann units will not work on your I6.
