Bilstein B14 upgrade

[jzd7tcm]

Hi all.

Just been reading threads about B14s. I have a T6 T30 with 40mm H&R springs. It's an awesome van from leighton vans but the ride on these springs really lets it down. It it a kombi and rarely loaded as used as family vehicle for dogs and children and bike's etc. Its runs 20 inch wheels and it all looks awesome . Does anyone have any advice or experience they will share on this subject. Thanks in advance.

@jzd7tcm there is really nothing more to say than that which has already been written in the many other threads on the subject. Sorry.

As I've said on other threads you won't regret buying B14s , I was unsure for ages but decided to take the plunge and part with£1100.00 . Glad I made the right choice . I cover 49000 miles per year in mine so every change is so important to me as my arse it perminatly welded to the seat . I still smile every morning when I get into my T6 , still love driving it after 54000 miles and thinking about what I am going to buy next , maybe rear 6 pot PB cappipers with 340 mm discs .
These things are money pits , why can't I be happy with what I've got !!!!

My understanding is that B14 is an adjustable damper and spring combination.
The B12 is an non-adjustable damper and spring combination.
The B8 is the non-adjustable damper that comes as part of the B12 kit.
So - if you already have springs that you are happy to use, you can have B8 dampers fitted.

I'm from Manchester and had mine fitted at Midland VW. Great service and included alignment.

I arranged it for a day when I was travelling back up from working in London and was a nice stop off for a few hours. I would normally of fitted them myself, but it seemed pointless being a company van and VAT registered.

Hi Phil, tks for that - I've been recommended to Merseyspeed, seem like decent guys when I dropped in, so am just waiting for them to firm up a slot for me.... I'll post up some before and after pics when sorted....
