Bilstiens

Has anyone fitted Bilstien Shocks to their Hq to WB panel van??
Looking to replace my shocks and springs on my v8 WB panel van. Will be sticking to new rubber bushes
Also interested if anyone could recommend a good quality coil spring.
Not interested in lowering my van.
Regards
Chilli

Why you replacing the springs if you're sticking to standard height?

I am replacing the whole steering, brake, and suspension as it is 38yrs old and never been touched. Upgrading running gear due to a LS1 engine conversion.

Unless you plan on goin racing dont waste your money on Bilsteins
a set of Monroe Gas would be fine
Springs go Lovells or Selby

Brock used Bilstein on his WB Magnums (and Commodores of course). Obviously it is going to be higher performing than run of the mill stuff. But if your going to buy them wouldn’t you be better off using the springs Bilstein recommend?

That's what I would do ..
If you are going to replace the shocks go with the springs a reputable suspension dealer recommends.
