Hi, they must have changed the coding since i got mine ? just looked and there not listed anywhere
they are the blue and yellow H/D ones if you give a supplier a bell and give him the code he should be able to match them up with a new code...all i've got on the invoice is..... 625670020 bilstein Shock H/D FR LR/RR/DISCO and 625530030 Bilstein Shock H/D R LR/RR/DISCO ?

Here is an old post on them

You will gain a much more 'supple' ride - It won't get rid of the jarring from the big bumps, but it will smooth out the ride quite a lot. You will lose a lot of the 'jiggling'.

Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

i personally will not be fitting any more britpart stuff, its pure rammel. when i rebuilt my series 1, i fitted some britpart trackrod ends, and before the motor had turned a wheel, the rubber had perished and split (and no it wasnt stood for ages or subject to a harsh environment) your better paying a little more and steering clear Thumbs Up

Had bilstein b6 fitted to my 90 ( thks Gary) improves the ride by getting rid of that bounciness the 90 has unladen. Nice but not cheap.

NOt sure if those are for newer Defenders (they are up to 90something). I´m going to taste a pair of custom made Fox soon. Puma 110" SW

Koni RAID for me - if you plan on keeping the vehicle and plan to do offroading/overlanding then this would be my choice. Super strong, plenty of oil inside, hydraulic stops, adjustable. Bit OTT for general use.
