what are the full "B6" part numbers for an FRS? I want to run this by a local retailer.

Fronts - 35-228387 and 35-228370
rears - 24-228398

We have a set of the front B6 on our shelf, just the rears did not come with...so we were holding out on posting them. Not sure on when we will be seeing them either...

that's odd though that they would just send you the fronts

i'm in Canada so i'll be curious if our retailers would even get them XD

theres something oddly appealing to me about strut/spring combo.

I agree....I'm already using the B14 but I still find this (together with Eibach Pro Kit) very appealing for some strange reason.

What about front bumpstops for these struts?

Fizz · 02-01-2014, 12:09 AM

Since the fronts are inverted, they would have built in bumpstops located right down the bottom of the strut body

Some guy with a hood told me "these ARE the struts your looking for"

Did not know that. Would love to see a cutaway of this or this type of strut.

Fizz · 02-01-2014, 04:05 AM

Erm...if you buy 1 and post to me I'll be glad to give my angle grinder a workout

But seriously, I'm pretty sure I've seen a few pics on Google where some guy disassembled his Bilstein struts. Can't remember where though...

The mechanic took a picture of the rears but forgot the fronts.

I will write my review after few days of testing the cars but I can say the small bumbs feel much smother and the car driving feel more firm
