Bilstein B8 dampers

[bonesX]

Anyone any experience with the Billy B8's?

I'm looking at getting a set (on a Fabia VRS) to combine with Eibach Pro springs, which are what Bilstein match to make their B12 kit

They look a nice damper, being inverted monotubed, the Eibach's I don't particularly care for, and tbh think they are a terrible spring, being too soft, and I don't like the progression, but they seem the only spring around, plus the B8 is a shortened stroked damper so should work with the Eibach's better than most

Cheers

What about B4 or B6 dampers?

I've got the former with Eibach spring on my Scirocco and I am very impressed but I guess it's all subjective.

I do know that both B6 and B8 are guaranteed for life.

The only Billy's for my Fabia VRS are the B8's. I would like the B6's with a longer travel more progressive spring, to protect geometry and keep it good in the rougher stuff, but beggar's can't be choosers, the B8 was circumstantially matched with the Eibach pro spring
