    Bilstein shocks - where to get in melb? - installed - my humble opinion

    Hi, Anyone know where to get some Bilstein shocks for a Discovery in Melb? After reading through past posts, I think they will fit my needs nicely. The only thing I'm still unsure about is how the ride will compare to the genuine shocks?

    Thanks for the info - its much appreciated.
    I've got 2 part numbers for the rear shocks:
    B46-0253 and BE5-2779
    Anyone know the difference between them? I'm running stock springs if that makes any difference. Also do they usually supply the mounting hardware? I remember reading another thread where someone had problems with the bilstein mounting hardware (washers?) wearing out. Any advice?

    I recommend that you reuse the existing rear washers in lieu of the ones that come with the Bilsteins.

    Check the guage to be sure.

    The lower rear washers on mine distorted and consequently the rubbers ripped:
