FX-3 shocks replacement - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Norwegianmopar · 07-10-2018

I sendt an email to Bilstein HQ in Germany regarding rebuilding my original FX-3 shocks, and this is the response I got:

Is this correct - does the B6 really work with the actuators etc just like the FX-3?

Dear Roy,

with our shocks your serial adjustment options will be conserved.

You can also mount the actuator on top of the BILSTEIN B6 shocks, similar to your serial shocks.

That's interesting, and maybe good news, however, I do not see anything on the B6 web page that mentions adjustability.

I wonder if the person who responded is aware of the original FX-3 functionality. It might have been someone who wasn't born yet when the ZR-1 came out. :-)

When I searched on Summit it came up as suitable for the ZR-1 with the 3 different settings.

Excellent.

Next (I think), we need to know if they are useable in both the early and later ZR-1's, because I think the actuators are different (they turn further or less during adjustments).

I'm not an expert. I just recently read Hib's article describing the system. :-)

Hey! I was planning to buy shocks from the US and ship them to sweden but it seem that no shipping company want to fly them at all since they are gas filled... Do you have any idea how to get them to norway?

Thanks for the reply! My dad lives in the US so thats why I tried to get them that way and also thought the price would be better since I didnt think they would be directly available here. Ill google it and see what I can find.
