Thread: Part number for extended length Bilstein shockies to suit D2

Only made for Oz market(believe it or not!) so not in normal catalogues. Reason you can't get them cheap from US. I think Suspenson Stuff in Bris. carry them. At least that was the situation approx 18mths ago when I was looking for some.

Serious? But the USA guys do some crazy lifts compared to us! I'm suprised such a large company like Bilstein would make a complete product for such a small market like Australia. I know they don't make Falcon shockabsorbers for this reason (the Falcon Bilsteins are actually shock absorbers to suit other vehicles that have been modified here in Australia after the stock has been purchased by Bilstein, to suit the Falcon).

Bilstein Long travel shockers 994 / 995's

check out les richmond for price Performance Suspension Kits

Or direct from bilsteins syd via heasmans

Bilstein shock absorbers - Sydney Shock Absorbers is the Australian distributor of Bilstein shocks


And make sure you also get the guards to protect the mono tube when off road, just a couple of plates that attach.
Cheers

Yeah I know, hard to believe but true. When I tried to get some from US suppliers they said they never heard of them. When I hasseled 'em a bit they went back to the Billies factory to investigate. Came back and told me the only place I could get them was where I lived. Bit embarrassing.
As far as I could find out no overseas places sell them so its only Oz suppliers as per the other posts.

As mentioned the part numbers are 994 & 995 for the Australian specified +50mm D2 shocks, direct bolt in repalcement. I believe they where designed by a group of Land Rover owners over here.

Now, if you are happy to work out all of your own shock details you can use something like the Bilstein 7100 that you can buy direct from the USA.

However you need to work out what shock rates you want, what length you need as well as purchase adapters for the front to allow the lower shock mount to bolt up.

There are plenty of threads on this approach if you are interested.

Has anyone have experience with both the 994/995 vs the 7100?

I am about to put in 2" spring lift and appreciate feed back.

Yes I use disco off road. Vic High country and also tow fibreglass half cab when not 4wd ing.

Want wheel travel but also stability and something that will take corrugations as well as larger bumps in the road

994/995 are a straight fit, no mucking around.

The 7100 require you to get additional items for fitting and a bit of creativity.
