Ok I am in need of some info on Bilstein strut inserts.
Don’t shoot me but I actually run a Honda in IT, but its so old (1974) that my last source for reasonable inserts (Carrera) dried up when QA1 bought them. Their tech guy said “you want what”. Some other people in Australia told me to weld Vw A1 front strut tubes to the first 2” of the Honda strut and my strut availability problem is gone.
So I’m going to need some Vw inserts and needed some advice as to what ones to get.
My current spring rates are 375# front and 225# rear with a sway bar. I may bump the rates by 50# but its not going to need anything more. I can’t seem to find part #’s listed anywere for the Bilstein race inserts is there a factory tech phone # to call? With the rates being so low compared to what most VW’s run in IT will the Bilstein sport inserts be OK? I did find those listed on the net. If not I would rather spend the money and get it right the first time.
Thanks for the advice
