Maxx Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You could try contacting Chris Wilson as I believe he is a Bilstein dealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Standard Bilsteins do not have spring adjusters, are you talking about the lower spring seats, or the upper mounts? Any pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlT67 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 They're not standard shocks, I mean the lower spring seat rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxx Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm assuming these are bilsteins fitted with ride height adjusters from someone Summit Racing or ECS. You'd need to know who made them and contact them, or get some machined up. Do you have a photo so we can see exactly what setup you have?

Nic Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Do you have a photo so we can see exactly what setup you have? Yes a photo would help. Height adjustable Bilstein dampers usually have a groove around the damper body and circlip to hold the spring seat , they are adjusted by removing the circlip and positioning the seat on the next groove.

Chris Wilson Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Some Japanese made Bilsteins (often blue in colour) had height adjustment on the JZA80 range. Bilstein may be able to supply seats, but last time I got some they took ages and were very dear. It may be more cost effective to bin them and buy new stuff.
