Bilstein Group N Shocks

[Gavin Waddell 18]

im looking at buying a set of these for my car i already have the rears and was just wondering if they are ok to run with standard torsion bars, or are they to stiffi dont want the car to be understerry. i will run eibach springs with them.

By Group N do you mean the Bilstein Challenge spec dampers?

 

If so, they will work OK with standard 205 GTi (18.9mm) torsion bars when coupled with some Eibach springs, although slighly stiffer (20 or 21mm) would likely be preferable. I ran mine with 20mm torsion bars (309 GTi beam) and they were very good.

It will be fine, I've run loads like this.

Mine handles very good with Tarmac inserts imo,standard 1.6 beam on back with solid mounts

That's the spec I'm going for, what engine do you run?

Mine runs a GTI-6 engine and striped rear.

Modified 1.9 8v,wanted to stick with the original engine.Rule changes in road rallies at the minute are crazy so I'm glad I have!

I've a 16v mi in mine and the drums on the rear wernt man enough in my opinion for the lanes change to a 309 rear beam with disc I have using 1144 pads in the back and 1166 up front brakes spot on now
