New Bilstein 8112 Coilovers !

Would love to, I also saw your post on the FB group... I just hope I don't get pushed into cancelling my vacation trip for a suspension upgrade now. lol

 

Haha well the truck is leaving for a week and a half next Thursday but it'll be around after that. You see I'm selling my 6112/5160 setup? I'll also be selling all my wheeler superbumps because I won't need them anymore

 

What did that set you back?

 

They seem to be going for about $3500 a set.

 

What lbs are the springs rated at?

 

600lb

 

That seems ballpark in line with Kings, Fox, ADS, Icon with clickers.

 

the fronts are essentially 3 position internal bypass, and the rears are bypasses. If you price out a set of King rear bypasses, the cost would be very similar, and you'd need to run a hydro bump up front.

These are VERY VERY good shocks. If they made them for the First gen, i'd pull my Kings out and run these.

 

I'll wait as Kings have proven themselves and I never ever buy a 1st series of anything. But will keep my eye on them.

 

1st series? Bilstein has been building shocks since before King existed... lol.

 

You don't need clickers with the zonecontrol CR

 

Cool!

 

Where is the listing?

 

I meant these new series of them. Just like Toyota has been around for a long time, but I would never buy a 1st year of the new model.

 

Its not like they are reinventing the way suspension works.

 

Ok

 

I mean, I get what you're saying, but shocks aren't really in the same ballpark as a whole vehicle.

 

Agreed

 

They also have been doing R&D on them since at least before 2016 when then first ones showed up at sema. I think bilstein did their homework and wanted to put out a rock solid product since it's been over 2 years since the first ones were made public.

 

How the hell did you gey 8100 rears? I heard a few months until they are released

Edit. I was told you are going to a show for Bilstein. Do you get to keep them ?
