B6 and B8 dampers have their own tuning, set in road tests to Bilstein's \"comfort and sport\" philosophy. With OE functional dimensions both are height-neutral and need no registration. Thanks to its changed extended length, the B8 suits standard sports suspension and lowering or raising springs of up to 50 mm; its piston rod extended length is up to 20 mm longer or shorter than the OE version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between B4 and B6?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B4 is an OE replacement that keeps the car's standard ride height and characteristics. The B6 is an improved OE replacement with its own road-test tuning and higher damping force; with OE functional dimensions it is height-neutral and needs no registration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the difference between B6 and B8?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe B8's extended length is about 20 mm shorter, so it keeps the preload on a lowering spring. The B6 is for OE springs. For lift springs, the extended length is 20 mm longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo you offer electronically adjustable dampers or kits that fit directly and keep the OE function (e.g. DCC, CATS, EDC, PASM)?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes – Bilstein offers plug-and-play solutions for many applications, marked \"DT\" (DampTronic). Whatever the car maker calls its electronic suspension, the catalogue lists the right match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill fitting B6 dampers to a classic car put its historic (H) registration at risk?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo – fitting yellow Bilstein B6 gas-pressure dampers would generally already have been possible when the classic car was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan you email me the expert report for the dampers?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDampers that match the OE functional dimensions do not need registration, so no type approval or parts certificate is needed. If used with lowering or raising springs, the springs need a parts certificate \/ ABE, available from the spring maker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the tightening torque for the cartridge nut on B6 struts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e130 Nm for the cartridge cap nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe B6 cartridge is smaller in diameter than the OE cartridge – is that a problem?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The cartridge is clamped axially by the cap nut and held in place by the strut tube. The cap nut torque is 130 Nm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDo I need special tools to tighten the cartridge cap nut?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes – the Bilstein cartridge wrench: part no. 14-244131 (E-MS 08\/7) for 30 mm cartridges or 14-244148 (E-MS 08\/6) for 36 mm cartridges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I tighten Bilstein cartridge inserts?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the Bilstein special wrenches: 14-244131 (E-MS 08\/7) for the 30 mm cartridge and 14-244148 (E-MS 08\/6) for the 36 mm cartridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere can I get a GOCA certificate for Belgium or the Netherlands?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Bilstein's regional trade partners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow do I get expert reports?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll expert reports are in Bilstein's online catalogue, linked to the part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs there installation information for workshops?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDampers are fitted following the vehicle maker's instructions.
