Bilstein 909 Coilovers
HI
I've just baught a set of 909 Bilstiens coilovers to fit to my 2wd sapph they have just been refurbed and didn't come with springs,
The trouble is that I don't know spring length I need to fit. Reyland said they can supply the springs for £20 each but need to know the length,
does anyone know what length I need or how I can find out?
Thankyou, Steve.

Cheers for your response mate,
I am using the car for road use and track use aswell.
Id like the setup to be as stiff as possible but that I can still use on the road,
Its, not a daily driver.
or would these only really suit a full time track car?

Would AVO be the same as the bilstiens set up then Tabetha? I mean if the springs are the same length on an AVO would they give the same affect as on the BIlstiens.

STUCOS Im Hoping there tarmac springs, I have been told this Although I'm not certain myself, I dont know how I'd tell.
How do you like your setup now?
If you dont mind me asking, what do you use the car for just track or road?

Different dampers(make) will have different spring rates, but get it how YOU want it, as the supplied ones may not be what you like and this is the point of suspension, to adjust to suit you.
