MLB Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I've seen them listed now for TC's. B(I think)4's for oem replacement. B6 for 'upgraded performance". I've run Bilsteins before on other cars, quality choice. I did read that the 6's raise the ride height because they mount slightly differently than the stockers. At 48,000 now so i might consider it in another 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) The van's ride is already pretty stiff and jiggly unladen. I don't want to add stiffer shocks to that. I just want the best handling I can get while maintaining the stock ride as much as possible. So I'll go with the B4's.

williaty Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Did either of you actually get the Bilsteins installed on your TC? If so, which ones and what do you think of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLB Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 I've put the rears on but shops want $900-1000 to install front struts! WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williaty Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 1 hour ago, MLB said: I've put the rears on but shops want $900-1000 to install front struts! WTF? Buy all the parts to build up the struts and then do a swap. You should replace the upper spring perches and strut mounts every time you change the dampers anyway. The plastic/rubber bits probably aren't required but, given the state mine were in at 75k miles when I had to replace the dampers, I don't see them surviving until 150k miles either. The springs are the only significant cost item where the replacement isn't necessary. I bought new everything, built up struts before I tore the car apart, then swapped struts, then tore down my worn out struts to save the springs and a few bits for next time I need to replace the dampers.

dgotc Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just a quick brand pointer: Don't get KYB bellows and bumpers. The bellows don't stay on their own strut tops (which seem to work fine and look like the Ford part). They're also too short and look like the diameter that hits the Bilstein B6 body is not quite small enough. Go with some OEM bellows or something like that. On the point of installation, I'm struggling with the passenger side where I've started a thread on that: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
