US Bilsteins fit mx5?

Postby chris129 » Tue Aug 24, 2010 8:01 am

Hi

Looking at purchasing a set of bilstein shocks for the 1996 NA8. Is there any difference between these and what we would buy here on Australia? Fair bit cheaper if you buy from the US.

Sure they fit but if you can afford it and want the best, try this setup: http://www.fatcatmotorsports.com/

what charlie brown says.

FCM are very good. ive gone thru their site a few times, it's amazing how they can match up the right spring rate + valving + bump stop to the exact spec you want.
i can't brain today.. i have the dumb..
