To Meyle or to Bilstein? Help needed....

[meljag]

Morning Fanatics I need advice please I have a 2008 120d, stage 1 software and downpipe done. I need to replace my shocks Meyle is at 4100 full set and Bilstein 6700 full set. I don't drive on crazy bad roads but use my car daily. Which set would be best?

Meyle make shocks now ?

Id go with the Bilstein...

Sachs (OEM) will be slight cheaper, or for a little extra monies...Koni special active.

Bilstein for sure.

I'd pay the extra for the Bilstein!

I just replaced shocks a couple of weeks ago with Bilstein’s and I am glad I did

bilstein all the way, they make a couple of versions but the B6 sport shock is a nice all rounder.

Phone ACMC in Pretoria, they do Sachs, 012 327 0040, Schoeman can help you with a set.

Does your car have M sport suspension?

B6 is stiffer (sportier version)

I concur. Bilstein B6 is a good replacement, often better than OE.

The B6 shock with the stock spring makes a nice compromise.

those Bilsteins work out to R1675 per shock, not bad at all, where is that from? Any recommendations for Sachs or Bilstein in Cape Town please?

Def the Bilstein, they do feel a little hard but is well worth it on the E series. Tried and tested for many years. If you want something more extreme than Koni as the others mentioned here.
