is Blistein B4 same spec as W212 stock absorber?

[adam2]

anyone know?

 

replacing my stock absorbers but cannot decide on B4 or B6

If you have no intention to lower the springs now or in the future, stick to B4. It's a OEM replacement. The B6 costs almost double the price of B4, but it handles twice better in corners & spirited driving.

I am told that I don't need to lower with B6,  but for B8

 

really double the handling this B6?

 

price is not twice of B4

B6 can still work with the stock springs or lowered springs, B4 only stock springs. Yes....handling is lot better for B6. B8 is the ultimate in the range. I had a B12 before on my W204....but that's another story.

But for B6 you got to trade off for comfort...be warned.

have my car fixed with B6, front and rear

 

definitely harder than stock

 

but improved in handling and cornering

 

a bit bouncy than stock

 

give and take
