1.8 XS - Bilstein B4 Shocks

[Ash J]

Hi guys

Looking to replace the suspension on my 306, just for OEM stuff. Mine is a 2001 Phase 3 1.8 16v XS.

I will be replacing the beam shortly for one from a GTI-6, no reason other than mine is a bit shagged and this one is in good order.

I know rear shocks are the same between both models, so that is fine.

But I am planning on lowering car slightly, so will be buying Eibach springs for the front.

What I want to know is, is there differences between the front B4 shocks for my car and a GTI-6?

On the Bilstein website, part numbers for front shocks on my car are different to front shocks for a GTI-6.

Eibach springs are same for both cars, so just wanted to make doubly sure that the Eibachs will fit ok if I buy the shocks listed for my car and not GTI-6.

Reason I ask is that the B6 and B8 shocks have same part numbers for both my car and GTI-6, so just assumed B4s would have been the same, as was going to order B4s from KAM Racing, but the part numbers they list are the ones listed for GTI-6.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers guys.
