Bilstein Shock group buy - Any chance w/ Morocca valving?
Is there any chance on getting Bilstein to do a special price on complete sets of new shocks with the upgraded Morocca valving? It's so expensive to buy a new set and then turn around and have Bilstein change them at added cost.
Thoughts?

Re: Bilstein Shock group buy - Any chance w/ Morocca valving?
I just recently got one of the new (new) batches from Bilstein and yes, they are stupid expense. I have the new ones as a spare and the ones I swapped on in December have about 22k. I do however, have a set with 80k that were not throwing any codes-- perfect for rebuilding . BTW... I was unable to find anyone in Bilstein that knew anything of a rebuilding service, so I think we are to look to a private company.

What might you notice if you were able to get the special valving? What problem does it solve?

It doesn't solve any problem; these shocks have no known issues. The special valving was designed to tighten them up for road racing. If you track the car, road race, or even auto cross - they are an improvement.
If you just drive the car for pleasure, I wouldn't recommend it.

Re: Bilstein Shock group buy - Any chance w/ Morocca valving?
Spork.. this is a Facebook/Google world now. (and even those are old hat to many) Again, no offense to the OP, I see this on Facebook constantly, people ask questions and expect the answers to be served up. Usually getting wrong and wildly uninformed answers. The beauty of the forum is the ability to search and look for a consensus of answers and solutions from those who have had these issues before. Go to the C4 oriented pages on Facebook sometime, you’ll laugh yourself silly with the answers people get to technical issues.
Sorry OP didn’t mean to highjack your thread. H

Re: Bilstein Shock group buy - Any chance w/ Morocca valving?
Just called in today and found out my shocks are in the mail after a 7 month delay! Finally. I would gladly send them back with a group of others if there was interest in performance valving. I heard that the AM valving is a little tighter than OEM already? Has anyone confirmed that there's a person at Bilstein that actually knows what Morocca valving is(still)?
