OK ladies and gents can someone running the Bilstein 7100 with the ever popular valving Front 360/80 & Rear 400/100.

Please tell me the shim stack measurements for this valving and what shock you are running front and rear. I'm looking for non SLS measurements however please feel free to share if you have SLS.

I can find this:

and

But they don't tell me the 400/100 or 400/90 (I've been advised might be a better option) valve stack.

The 400/100 is essentially a custom stack offered by bilstein, and is quite a popular option I assume, as it's listed on the eshocks website.

U could try emailing bilstein direct or via eshocks?

I've e-mailed E shock with no response yet :(

Apparently there used to be a place in Sydney that distribute Bilstein shocks i could ask, just have to work out who the are.

I think they are called Heisman or something similar.

Hi Shane, I got some feed back form one of my WA customers about the local Bilstein agent who provided excellent service and advice and he recommended them to me.
In you neck of the woods also.

Heasmans were helpful, but have not given me the answer I need to protect there own business. I need the shim sizes and order for the valving. They would only tell me they got the info and are willing to sell me the shims. At this point I might have to purchase the shims to get the answer I want.

What exactly did you want measured?

That's fair enough, otherwise they do all the work and customers go elsewhere. Fair call;)

How much do Heasmans want for 2 shim stacks?
E-Shocks were charging around $15 US i think Joel Said, all told inc freight was about $50 to his door.

I want to be able to reference the 400/100 valving like I can with the 360/80 and other valving in the attached document.

I was quoted $132 for 2 complete shim stacks.

I see your point... but the shim stack information is available for other valving. It is even published in a document.

Why would it be such a secret what sizes the shims are?

I still have to buy them regardless, I can still purchase them to measure them myself. So why is it such protected information?

Ouch! Making some good GP outa that!

After talking to Joel rather in depth about his shocks, and the planned 400/80 valving, he found that the 80 component of the stack was different in both the 360/80 and the 400/80.

I'm not sure if whole stack contributes towards the bump and rebound, or if the bump stack and the rebound stack are completely independent.

I would be trying eshocks again, I have tried bilstein but they appear un contactable unless u go through one of their dealers.
