    Shortened Front Bilstein sports(BRAND NEW)

    Like the title says these are about 3-4 inches shorter than the e30 bilstein sports. They are G60 Corrado Bilsteins that will work with our strut/nuckle with minimal fabrication. I bought them for $270 before shipping and i would like to get something arund that price range for them. I had planned on running a custom coilover suspension but backed out because i am planning now to buy the KW coilover kit to save time. There are a few people running these shocks and the one who helped me with all the info was ebelements who is also runnign a custom coilover kit

      Holy shit that car is fucking low. I like the pant tooo even though it seems to be messed-up (looks good though)

      Free bump.

        These will work for a B3 Passat VR6 also, if I remember.

            Passat has the same suspension as the Corrado but it must be the Plus Setup.

                      Are the shocks the same diameter as the E30 units? I'm not interested in Bilsteins, if these were Koni's, I'd snag 'em off you.


                      Keep it slideways!!

                        can we get more info, like what it takes to install them. Could you use like H&R race springs on them or would you be resting on the ground?

                          What is the gap between the bottom of the strut and the bottom of the strut housing when installed?

                            The diameter of the shocks are a bit smaller and you would have to fabricate a inner thread in the strut or a clamp on the outside to get theses to mount up top. My fabricator quoted me at the minimum $200 and the most $300 to get these to work... I dont exactly know what needs to be done except for the information i was giving...

                              Haha, the copper car is mine, and yes I'm running the same shocks.

                              Tons of fab in my setup - the fronts, as shown in that picture, are set all the way UP. Not that anyone else would need to do that to run these shocks, but I wanted to get low and still have ride quality, so.... yeah.

                              Also... Brandon... the V1s will be less of a headache, but they're going to ride WAY bouncy when you get them cranked down that far. Keep that in mind!
