Default New suspension parts just arrived today! But, I have a question...

I just received my Bilstein Sport shocks and Eibach Pro Kit. I noticed the front shocks already come with a coil. Do I keep that coil in place or replace it with the Eiback from the Pro kit?

I don't want to upset the new shock setup.

The front shocks should not come with a coil. Are you sure it's the right part?

Default Don't know. Bilstein's website doesn't list Audi TT.

The number on the part's box is F4-VE3-4638-H0. This number wasn't found on the Bilstein website Part # search. The UPC # is 651860441092.

I will call Shox.com and see what's up.

Confirmed correct part. Just need to replace coil with Eibach.

Default Sounds like...>

you got a set of coil-overs....They have the springs. Regular bilstein shocks are just that. You put the prokit springs on them....Sounds like you got something wrong there..

Default Not coilovers. I think just an accidental spare part...

I checked both boxes and had matching part #s. I also compared the parts visually and they look the same. Just 1 had a coil and 1 didn't. Funny, huh?
