Bilstein Question

[S4Vince]

I want to buy front and rear Bilstein shocks for my Sy and I have found many differing parts numbers on line.

I have found: Bilstein:
Front B46 1410
Rear B46-1681

However I also see B46-1413-HO (for the front )

What is correct and where's the best place to buy (Summit)?

Thanks,

Be careful what shocks you purchase. Not sure what the current line of bilsteins is/are.

When I purchased mine there were the HD's (Heavy duty's) and the Sports, the part #'s were very similiar. Apparently there was quite a difference in the valving in the shock. The 'sports' were hated by justabout everyone I read that had them. Most people preferred the HD's (which I purchased and love).

In either event, for Typhoons it seems the HD's were the preferred way to go 'back in the day' you may try contacting someone at www.shox.com and see what the recommend. Thats where I purchased my set.

Vince,

I had great luck w the "slaloms" from Bilstein on my GN and TTA. I've got Ranchos on mt Ty and they R OK.

I guess the SyTy's came stock w Bilsteins, but apparently they kinda sucked. Supposedly they were some cheapie offering to GM that hopefully weren't typical of Bilstein quality.
