Have you spoke/emailed bilstien themselves on what settings they recommend on the S3 there very helpful and will have ragged the sh*t out of an S3 on their track and at the ring.

That's what I thought and the seller said it doesn't fit....Pretty sure our 3dr code is 8V1. The bottom listing?
They'll fit no problem its only because the sportback is a bit heavier, probs use different spring rates or something along those lines.
Oops, to finish the post, they're suitable for and will fit any 8V or mk7 golf with a 55mm strut diameter.
There aren't separate B16 kits for the sb, hatch or saloon.
different models will be heavier/lighter so subtle changes in the springs id guess?Weird, why do they lost seperate models with different codes?
If the coilovers are rated higher, surely that means they can cope, or am i missing somthing?So what we have learned from this is that the suppliers are 100% correct, there are no coilovers/dampers for our hatchbacks.
Check the drivers side door where they state the axle loads, the coil over kits are designed for : Front 1090 - Rear 1035 axle loads.
Yep they are all incorrect
My axle load is 1055 - 1020
All the bilstein listed are 1090 - 1035
So going to hold off for now.
Really that's like having half a passenger in the front (45kg) and less than half a fuel tank (15kg) of loading difference.
waiting for my wheels mate, plus im away for work/holidays next 3 weeks so i can tell you after that, theres another member on here who recommended them to me so i didnt even hesitate tbhHave you got yours fitted yet Hdobson?
If so, then what do you think about the B16? Worth it?
dont need anything, but its nice to have the adjustable featuresI dont need B16's, B12 will be perfect for my needs.
I am getting really frustrated as nobody has stock of any bilsteins and the eibach coilover kit is 50mm strut diameter which wouldnt fit the S3!
So everybody is listing the wrong shocks and i am getting fed up of messaging sellers in germany!
Finally order some bilsteins!
B14 kit for €830 delivered.
Fingers crossed they ride smooth and don't rattle my teeth out!
I wouldn't want to recommend them as they have taken my money and still have not responded to my emails regarding a tracking number...Got a link to where you ordered from?
Did you get the Ride control version?I've had the B16s fitted today, initial impressions are good.
