GeorgeB Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) These shocks have done about 4000 - 5000 miles, and are less than 2 years old. Just had them removed from my 2008 350Z HR. The large washer (?) is missing from the top of the second shock from the right. In Coventry £330 + P&P Edited March 7, 2016 by GeorgeB
Bodyboarder81 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Great bit of kit for the zed and paired with the tein springs , a genuinely great road set up .... So good I had them on my zed ! ........ Oh wait a minute Glwts 1
GeorgeB Posted March 6, 2016 Author Posted March 6, 2016 Cheers Dude, Apparently this would be better off in the 350z Parts For Sale page, would a mod kindly move it please?

RobPhoboS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I have B6's with Tein S springs on my car at the moment, very good quality, maybe a little bumpier at under 30mph but above that far, far superior. Do a search if you want. And it's just a washer, ebay one (maybe George could measure and tell). 1
GeorgeB Posted March 8, 2016 Author Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I bought Bodyboarder81's 350 Z, along with a full set of Ohlins suspension. I had the Ohlins fitted almost straight away. Having never driven a 350 with standard suspension I couldn't tell you how they compare, but I think there are lots of reviews on here. I certainly didn't have any complaints about the ride on the tein / bilstein setup, but having read about the ohlins, and them being available from bodyboarder81 with loads of other planned mods to the car I couldn't resist!

Good man, I don't want to increase crashiness at low speed - is it harsher bumpier or just a bit firmer? I bought Bodyboarder81's 350 Z, along with a full set of Ohlins suspension.

That's a sweet Z you got there! With Ohlins too Will have a think and do a bit of research Edited March 8, 2016 by Oversteer 1

RobPhoboS Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Just a bit firmer, it's fine man Bilstein know how to make good dampers 2

J_R Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 I've got B6s on my car and would highly recommend them. Yes, the ride is a bit stiffer but no less compliant than stock. The car feels more composed and controllable and it actually handles potholes better. When I first got them I found myself tensing up as I approached a particularly bad stretch of road but was amazed how well the suspension dealt with it. It practically glides over some of the rough stuff. I agree it can sometimes be a bit unsettled at low speeds on bad surfaces but is perfectly acceptable and improves with road speed. Go and buy some... you won't regret it. 1

Go and buy some... you won't regret it. Was very tempted but I've just spent a grand changing fluids, drop links, brakes and found out my clutch slave cylinder is buggered so having an HR means that's a gearbox out job. One of the reasons I bought the Z was the compliant ride and after the grand recently spent, she's handling a lot tighter. Any suspension upgrades are on hold whilst I get the clutch sorted. These look in good condition & low mileage. GLWTS Edited March 17, 2016 by Oversteer
