Have you got to cut the tops off, then yes

Your car is the heavier S2, and you will not notice the difference anyway

The B6 on the back of my super heavy 968 really made a difference to the handling and no detriment to the ride

They replaced brand new genuine and the difference is amazing, I have brand new genuine fronts, once the £2 jar is full again they will chopped up for B6

I'll check if they can order the 1042 instead of the 403.

Cheers to all.

Hi Maurice

I have just re checked the Bilstein online catalogue and the only B6 front shock listed is 34-000403.

The 34-001042 seems to be a more heavy duty version of the other part number but for some reason Bilstein don’t recommend it for the 3.0L S2

Regards

Tony

I found this in my bookmark folder, https://www.fahrwerke-stossdaempfer.de/ ... front.html compared to this https://www.fahrwerke-stossdaempfer.de/ ... =34-000403 I think my thought process was an S2 is more like a 968 than a VW1303 (super bug)
