Bilstein B6 rear shocks - for 760 (IRS), with springs

tofufi · Mar 30th, 2018, 08:55

Hi Folks,

Removed from the 760 I'm breaking to keep my 740 on the road, I've a set of Bilstein B6 shocks. I don't know their age, but they seem in fine condition and work well. I'd be surprised if they've done many miles as the car they came from wasn't driven much recently. I've got the springs that came out of the donor car and they can be included too, as stiffer springs are needed if you're replacing Nivomats for these.

These have the inserts in the lower bushes to allow fitment of them to 760 models - I believe models with a solid rear axle have a different mounting (or else I'd be using them on my 740!)

I'm after £75 + P&P for shocks and springs

This was the donor car, you can see the back end sat well (not too low/droopy!). Sadly the donor was generally worse condition structurally than the photos suggest!

A bit out of topic but...are those low mounts removable from the original shocks? I have got a pair of adjustable Koni Yellows to go undet my 960 but I need those mounts.

I've read online that they can be pressed out of the original shocks and fitted to new ones.

I think the original shocks are quite strong and act as part of the springing, so you might need uprated rear springs too.
