Thread: Beefy Bilsteins!

B4s, I think they are for the N14 chassis.

Nothing like the monotube 46mm B6. (I bought and installed those B6 46mm monotube dampers on my Dad's Frontier truck recently)

Yeah, but B4 is just stock replacement. But some people mentioned front Mitsu 3000GT inserts which im able to get too. Not sure if it will work both and rear B13...

Just found this:

I rather do not want to know the pricing...

jagy, I apologize. I forgot you asked about the newly developed inserts.

Taking Koni 8611-1257 measurements I would try to match those as best as I can with whatever spring I wish to use and whatever ride height I desire. (Probably the smallest one if it is for a Sentra)

And I think they are around $500 an insert.

I was not asking just about these new inserts... even B6 insert will be ok if we found out one with right dimmensions and characteristic for F/R B13.

Take the reference measurements from a Koni 8611-1257 and start measuring lots of stuff.... I highly doubt anyone will know anything other than what you and I are talking about right now.

Yeah... not a lot people take care about good suspension. At least, im in contact with very skilled man who can do wonders so i will be making custom coilover with him for P11 using 50mm B6 Bilsteins. Should be in price rance of cheap D2, Ksport, XYZ,...

Jagy why not just do BC's at that point? I'm currently running Bilsteins with Eibach's and front flat mounts. I feel like I now need rear flat mounts otherwise the rear feels too stiff. The car seems to handle great, but no where near as great as my B15 with Tein Basic's does. I think it's time I get on the BC bandwagon...

I do sell BC coilovers, so its not a problem... but i want to do something different or better. These Bilstein can take a lot of abuse and rebuild is cheap.

I will be doing some updates when we have something done.

Any update on your custom setup, @jagy?

Hi Kyle, not yet as I put P11 chassis on the side because I got N14 race car which does need much more attention. Still have in mind to do P11 B6 Bilsteins with custom mounts and BC racing springs. I already have the B6´s so its basically about ordering springs and set order on custom mounts (needs some drawing, tests, etc.)
