Bilstein B4's

Openwindow

Has anyone fitted these to a facelift vectra sri?

Part number is BNE2934 and are labelled for vectra b but they do not fit correctly, the bush/eye at the base of the damper is too small for the trailing arm. Is this normal or is it the wrong part because it just doesn't look right at all? what..

cheers

Here's a pic of my Bilstein Yellow B8 damper. Zoom the pic up and have a look. Courtenay fitted mine.

cheers Johnny,

yeah thats pretty much how it looked when I fitted it, apart from the scottish weather having made the underside of my motor much filthier than yours.
My main worry was with the bolt shearing or bending because the bushing isn't supported in the trailing arm at all.

nice work with the supercharger conversion, bet it sounds a beast.

Thanks mate, no problem.
