    Rear shocks Bilstein vs LandRover

    Just wondering what people's opinions of the Bilstein rear shocks are compared to oem?
    I'm assuming Bilstein are probably more a higher pressure gas shock as opposed to a more oil filled shock.
    Or are they the same thing?

    I spoke to Bilstein Australia about 3 mths ago about front shocks. They said they stopped selling front shocks for the L322 and sport/discovery as they weren't suitable for Australian conditions. Too many failures. The front shock is entirely different. However I would talk to the Australian distributor before buying their rears for the L322.

    This is the response from Duckworth Land Rover UK who have sent me the rears:

    Hi Chris
    Bilsteins are the same as Genuine, in fact Genuine I believe are Bilsteins reboxed into LR packaging.
    Regards

    A fact or belief thereof? They may indeed be made by Bilstein but could have different valving and/or oil to avoid a possible contractual need to not supply identical copies elsewhere. Bilstein might also be producing a shock for different usage which is normally the case but perhaps not or not significantly for L322s because L322s don't appear overly popular for usage in tough conditions. However at least some UK L322 owners prefer the LR version to Bilstein a/m for their reportedly more supple ride.

    I understand shocks for EAS is valved differently to shocks for coil/leaf suspension.

    It is, however I have been led to believe that EFS has a suitable set up. It was something I asked before getting the partners car (she ended up with a jeep and not a disco mores the pity)
