Steve I can get the genuine Audi sport red shocks from Audi dealership but I don’t know if they are oil filled? I expected that they would be the same but that was 20 years ago and I would like to find out? I would like to know also if you tried to get yours at the dealership and any information you have about them, your car is an a6? Regards Craig

……. I also think it is worth noting that the bilstein b4 are of course gas shock absorbers and the genuine sports red rear shocks were monroe but oil filled, monroe shock absorbers for my b6 Quattro I could get for 25% less than the b4’s but are also only gas shocks again, there is no quality brand oil filled shocks for my car, I expect oil filled are more robust?

Hello there Steve, sorry for the late reply, I have nearly got all parts together now to start to fit. I have indeed had the rear bilstein b4’s delivered and I will let you know when the car is together if you haven’t already sorted out your rear shocks. I can say my rear red sports shocks were very tired but the fronts really are fine as I took them to a local well regarded mechanic I know and he said there is nothing wrong with them other than a paint. I am really impressed with my car’s original parts never has the suspension been apart until now with 195000 miles and 19 years old. I really would have liked to buy genuine rear shocks but the bilstein’s were half the price and anyway easy changed if I thought my b6 was worth it one day? I am a little despondent that you cannot get the genuine shocks for your car as I really can’t praise my cars build quality enough. Many regards Craig

Hi all, I am looking for genuine sports suspension parts for my car, I am in need of a front spring/springs with 1 blue 3 green and shocks ending in code Bn. Also needing rear shocks but will probably go for new bilstein b4 unless someone has something? Regards Craig
