Where to get it done?

Do you send them direct to Bilstein? or do they simply pass it on to another company?

Is so has anyone got and contact details?

Cheers

Ryan

In Poland it's done by local Bilstein dealership so in UK it's probably possible too.

The problem is in local dealership they never heard (or seen any) of Gr.A Cossie billy's don't know if they would in UK.

By the way - can you get new ones still? Do you know of any documentation on the innternet? The only Bilstein model for Cossies catalogues speak of is this:




And this is not what people mean when talking about Bilstein's on this forum :-/

not sure if you can still get them, mine dont look much like that, different colour etc etc. About 50% of the weight of my old shocks.

Rear Shock Numbers on there are:

Ford Part Number: 9092782

Bilstein Number: 41374191266

Rating: 260 / 90

And a few more other numbers

cost's about same price of a new insert to get them done properly so unless they are rare it aint worth it.
