    Default New shocks

    I need a set of new shocks for my car due to fitting PI 40/45 springs. now I am thinking of getting a supersport sprint setup of spring and shocks and selling the springs on. Or would the bilstein b4 gas shocks be ok for the 40/45 springs. I was thinking the supersport because they are shortened shocks but can anyone shed any light on the subject.

    The Bilstein B4's are like standard shocks in terms of length and possibly performance (not too sure) but they are cheaper and better make than Vauxhall's own.

    I would go with the supersport suspension setup or buy a set of Biltsein B6's and fit them to your PI's.

    I have Eibachs fitted on standard SRi shocks. When the money comes together I'll be getting the Bilstein B6's or the Eibach shocks, haven't made my mind up yet

    Hope this helps
