Karozza,if you do the rears on their own please post up how the car feels.
I might do the same thing and leave the fronts until the winter lay up but a little concerned it will upset the balance of the car.
51 rider that's a good find.Have responded to your pm by email.

I have just B6 on the rear of my 968 and it’s a marked improvement over the shagged 27 year old ones, and no it does not upset the balance, but gets that skittish sensation under control, as there are no springs involved it’s just massively improved the damping

It will be the same for the front when it gets done, no spring changed just much better damping

I recently put Bilstein B6 rears on my turbo - but hadn't really driven it for 5 years or so beforehand :roll:

Can't say I notice that much difference to be honest - but it does appear to be firm down the bumpy old country road I live along...

Hello, I am new to the Forum and therefore unable to PM. Does 51rider still do B6 conversions for the front struts on an S2? If so can someone help me with details?
Thank you in advance.
