Hi Folks!
Just wondering why Bilstein replaced the 6100 series B46-1085 front shocks for class 11 with the F4-BOA-0000304 ones...
Taking a look at the new cataloge and comparing it with the old one from 2008 you can see there are no difference between them either in size,travel,valving,colour etc...
From 2008:
From 2011:
The only B46-1085 "R" and "S" still available are about the 7100 series ones...
Cheers!

Hi Folks!
I directly asked to Bilstein about that...
They told me the part numbers I'm referring to actually are the same parts...they just changed the serial # and now they only offer these as a plated metal parts.
Cheers!

Does anyone know for sure if the 6100's are yellow paint or plated now. Has anyone bought fronts B46-1085 and rear B46-0930-H0 recently?
I called Allshocks.com and eshocks today and didn't really get an answer. The factory is closed until next week. I'm just not a fan of yellow. Reminds me of Monroe's (which were good shocks) Dad owned a tire store when I was a kid and I just grew to hate them. I'd prefer the metal plate and I might get the 7100s if the 6100s are still yellow. |

Any one have experience with the bilstein 6100 series front shock? I'm gonna order a pair but i'm not sure about the valving . they advertise off the shelf with 265/70 valving
but the bilstein recommendation chart here
http://www.eshocks.com/bil_Orvg.asp#Buggies
suggest that they be valved at 180/75 for most baja bug applications including racing
i'm putting them on a class 11 style |
