Default Newage bilstein shocks

hi guys recently found this! eBay item number: 161712634610

I would like this as a full setup on my Newage 5x100 Blobeye

Can anyone give me any info? Can't find anything on them at all

Many thanks!

Search those part numbers and they are for the classic so won't fit.

However, Prodrive developed do a setup for the widetrack RB320 with Prodrive springs and similar Bilstein dampers but is very expensive, £3-400 per damper (from dealer)+£250 for PCL Dynamics (Prodrive) springs. These can be made to fit non-widetrack with shims on the front dampers I believe.

See InTurbos posts here:

If I had a widetrack this is the setup I'd go for

That listing is for a single strut only - they are very rare so you are unlikely to find the others. Anyhow, as Modrich says they are for classics. Strut options for the 5x100 newage include KYB AGX and Koni inserts.

What do people recommend? I'm on HSD monopro coiolvers at the moment, love them but selling the car and want to get a decent amount for it so though something oem plus would have been a good option

What spring rates are on the Pedders struts?

How comparable is the feel on the road to (say) Prodrive Blue with KYB Excel-G?

If you have any questions, just ask
Will the Pedders ezi-fit lower the ride height by default or can I maintain the existing ride height as per my OEM struts / springs?

I cant actually answer that question myself as ive never driven a car with the set up you suggest.

Probably one for one of the specialists who do fit them.

We do have a Bug fitted with these here, which you are welcome to test drive.

That depends on your current height. We do quote installed heights for the avoidance of doubt. If its already been lowered etc, then you may fid no lowering actually occurs.

Though we do give an indication of the drop, that is compared to an as new WRX.
