bilstein suspension

[dangerdaz]

Anyone tried out the bilstein b14 height adjustable kit?
Seems their take on the h&r/ kw1 kit.

 

[ben_r1]

Must be new on the scene, as of now only kw and H&R supplied 197 applications.

Bilstein do superior quality though, their kits are amazing.

£833.40 inc vat so quite competitive...

Are they adjustable dampers?

Link? Is this demon tweeks? They previously had it listed as the 139ps 2.0 model and couldn't confirm the springs were suited to the axle weights of the 197. Then a few days later it was changed to 197 spec yet part number the same, hence I went for kws in the end.

Having said that i had a bilstein setup on my old saxo and it's mighty good.

Didnt someone say the H&Rs were Bilstein shocks with H&R springs?

Aye...demon tweeks
No link as from their mag. Spoke to guy on phone and he said they were for clio 3 cup/sport

 

[N0ddie]

Go for it Daz. It only takes one to buy and review before the rest will follow lol.

 

[ryan197]

bilstein dont do coilovers for the clio 197 or 200. Has said before only list for the 2.0l 16v 135ps model. I emailed bilstein and they confirmed they dont do them for the 197.

Yes that's what he said to me to, but bilstein uk couldn't confirm it

 

[ben_r1]

I can't see why they'd make a coilover kit for the normal 2 litre model but not for the hot hatch version. That's the wrong way round!

 

[Mike Roberts]

H&R have traditionally used Bilstein dampers in their kits, I expect if you were to check, you'd find there's a 90% chance their Clio kit will too.

 

[Rocko]

The H&R coilovers which you can buy from k-tec are as follows:-
H&R springs and BILSTEIN dampers all h&r have done is put a sticker on the dampers.
Fred at Btm showed me and bboy197 he took some plastic cover off and you can see bilstein engraved on the dampers

Shows the lack of knowledge that Tweeks possess! Bs14 kit doesnt fit. As stated by others....8)
H & Rs for me then...

Make sure you get photos up. Really wanna see a 200 with Ultraleggeras lowered on these badboys.

 

[walkie86]

So the Bilstein B14 PSS kit on Demontweeks doesn't fit? Can anyone confirm they've tried?

Shame as it's a really good price!

 

[ryan197]

ive emailed bilstein directly and got a reply that they dont make them for the 197/200, the 2.0 l quoted on the site is for the lesser 2.0 l model with different shocks and hubs
