Yeah b12 pro for me ta. Pm me how and when you want paying and where you live.

Just To confirm this is the bilstein b12 pro kit for vr6 if so I am definitely in for £485. What's the b14 Is that a coilover kit?

thinking about it my previous vr was a K plate so a '93 so it would have had the revision 2's So the question is are the revision 2's compatible with the later vr6 and with the Bilsteins B12 so i can therefore just order all those parts from the version 2's with the bilstein kit. I would be replacing all these components anyway as part of the refresh.. still doesnt quite tie in with your comment mystic on you '94 vr though.

Found this elsewhere on the forum.... "I know I have mentioned this before but cant find the link. There are 3 revisions of front suspension fitted to Corrados as follows: Revision 1. Early stuff as fitted to 16vs & G60s only: Spring Plate diameter 105mm - 357 412 341 Top Mount, large rubber assembly with a metal disc bonded to the bottom - 357 412 329 Limit Stop, metal 'disc' that sits inside the engine bay - 1H0 412 319 B Bump Stop, 84mm long - 357 412 303 E Bellows, 172.5mm long - 357 413 175 Revision 2. Early VR Stuff up to around 06.93 builddate Spring plate diameter 105mm - 1H0 412 341 Top Mount, large rubber ring - 357 412 341 A Bearing for inside of top mount - 1J0 412 249 Limit stop - 357 412 319 B Bump stop, 83mm long - 357 412 303 F Bellows, 228.5mm - 1H0 413 175 Revision 3. VR Stuff from around 06.93 and 8v and 16v cars with a build date of 07.94 onwards Spring plate, diameter 92mm - 357 412 341 A Top mount - 357 412 341 A Bearing for inside of top mount - 1J0 412 249 Limit stop - 357 412 319 B Bump stop, 83mm long - 1H0 412 303 B Bellows, 221.5mm - 357 413 175 A Points to note: The difference between revision 2 and revision 3 spring plates is more than a simple diameter change, the revision 3 plates are shallower by 6mm in depth and are also flatter where the spring meets the spring disc. The reason for the change was the introduction of a new type of spring to the VR, these were lateral force compensating springs and were designed to reduce friction on the damper causing a better response from the damper resulting in a better ride, the downside was that the car sat slightly higher than the revision 2 set-up. When fitting the revision 1 top mount it is worth noting that the threaded bush that is used to retain the top mount to the suspension assembly can be overtightened crushing the bearing, it needs to be tightened to 40Nm. When fitting the limit stop ensure that the suspension damper piston rod does not rotate when tightening the nut that hold the limit stop on the car, this may cause the threaded bush to become loose, the torque for the limit stop nut is 60Nm."

Think I may do that on Monday. Main issue is cars in worcs not Essex. Doesn't stop me asking mind. Trust the advice of the forum over a garage any day of the week though...[emoji1]

So who's the person with the know to answer mine and mystic blue vr's question. I'm getting excited towards a new purchase now :)

Ok so this has got me thinking (again) and I should just get this sorted.... My issues with the B12 setup is that I used to run the H&R and koni TA's on my old vr6 and I liked the slightly greater drop that it offered... However on my current VR6 (Storm) which is completely standard the current suspension puts it in tractor territory. I am aware that some of the later Corrados had even higher standard suspension than the earlier version, was this the case with the later storm models and VR6 of the corresponding era. If so is there anything i can do with the B12 kit to also create more of a 30mm drop against my current setup (if that makes sense) i.e different suspension caps etc Edd

just gone to prove myself wrong and i see AMD do free fiting on all bilstein kits.... http://www.amdtuning.com/product.details.cfm?ProductID=21044&VariantID=60&ReferenceID=195133

no probs, things may change, let me know if i'm wrong. As i want to be, then i can buy some... :)

Are you sure chuggs. Only reason I haven't gone the b12 route is because the didn't do a sport line kit for the vr6...

Cools thanks all. I'm off to Pester Mike2006 & fendervg with PM's.

Dont think they are mentioned in there unfortunately, read that thread so moany times haha. Is it a new kit i wonder, it is rare not to find something discussed on thie forum,

Not even been discussed? Anyone point me in the direction of a previous similar thread?

Anyone?

Can anyone provide any experience with this H&R Comfort Suspension Kit. I have been using the search via the forum and via google and there does not seem much info about. I used to have the Koni T/A and H&R combo on a different VR6 and liked the setup I am now looking at Bilstein B12 pro kit due to the good reviews from members of this site, my only hesitation is that I prefer the idea of the 4omm drop with the H&R comfort kit against the 25mm drop with the B12 pro (and the £200 lower pric tag) Edd

Please consider my previous request as a sold. Ta

if you break, i'll take the gear level bit and surround, also interested in the tunnel bit it clips onto. I've had a car freshner thing melt mine in the sun!!!! both these bits...

Hi Clumpy, i'm tempted as i am still considering this setup, in fact i was waiting for you to put them on a report back to us all. I can get these for £650 from Venom, but i still get my 12 month warranty that way!! Will you consider any movement? Edd

with the dash in, it was a right ar5e of a job

have you done this dude, did it need doing, i replaced this when i owned it!

cheers clumpy think im gonna arder them, just to be clear am i right in saying bilstein dont do the B12 sportline kit just the pro?

Hi all, sorry if this should be a search item; I have found a few posts but nothing definitive... So who has one of these suspension kits actually fitted on their vr6, is it any good, do they do the sport kit for the vr6 and if so which do you have, also any pictures showing the drop would be nice. From what i have read so far reports are good so i am tempted but would rather a slightly bigger drop than the 25mm they seem to offer, my old vr had koni ta's/H&R cobo and once settled I it think dropped obout 40mm which was about right. Thoughts?? Edd

have we any photos of the fog light protectors, i'd be keen on a set of headlights and fogs..?

Hey buddy, best colour corrado no doubt, always wanted the grey one from the green dragon pub in Guarlford but he wouldnt sell it too me. Who had the old girl off you. Hope alls well.

such as shame the blue ones don't look as good....:)
