I promise, this will be the last! (hopefully!)

I've been looking at Bilstein B4's for my SEAT Toledo 2.3, and have found two sets of numbers;

Sports setup
VNE 4575 front
BNE 2917 rear

Normal
VNE 4574 front
BNE 2942 rear

I'm tempted by the sports setup, mainly because you only stock the sports one :). What makes them 'sport', is it just the amount of damping? Or are they actually designed to go with shorter springs? I'm still looking to stay with my normal ride height, but wouldn't mind a firmer ride, so would they work with my standard springs?

Secondly, a bit of pricing has you selling the full kit for £250, but Balance Motorsport do them individually for a total cost of £196.98 (ex P&P). Since they're the same price as the Jamex that I was considering, I think I might be on to a winner if you can price match?

Many thanks for your help.

Afternoon,

Yes the B4 Sports are shorter to match lowering springs.

Yes we'd match that price.

Thanks for the reply, does that mean I can't use them on standard springs? I can't see the normal set up on your website.

If you want them for standard springs you'll need the normal B4's.

If you'd like to order those just give us a ring or drop us a PM or email and we'll be able to sort them out for you.
