Knackered Dampers :(

Post by scott.a » Sun May 14, 2017 10:55 pm

Both Rear bilsteins on my S1 are leaking I discovered this evening :(

Whats the general chat on dampers then?

Nitrons seem popular but there seems to be different variants.

We run Quantums on the race car and they do an elise version

Any other options?

I've just had my Bilstiens refurbished. About £250 which included new pistons/rods as the chrome was pitted. Turn around time was 3 weeks.

Thanks Renny - ill give them a shout. However the bodies look a pretty corroded so not sure if they are salvageable.

Bit of an update - ive ordered Nitron Street Series 2 dampers that are being fitted today at CMC. Looking forward to see what they do.
