    Default Bilstein B8 or other shocks too pair with Eibach Springs

    I need some shocks to go with my Eibach Springs on the 2006 Mazda 6 MPS!

    I heard Bilsteins and Eibachs were a perfect combination! The problem is I can't find it anywhere on the internet.

    Are there any other shocks that have a good compatibility with the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs?

    Could anyone source one for me or point me in the right direction, thanks

    You could try shox.com - can't see a listing but might be worth an email.

    I have just had a set of Bilstien B6's fitted to my MPS 6 along with the Eibach springs - result is a much improved ride.
    for the B6 try the RPM store - they also have prices for Koni yellows and the FSR.
    I have recently has dealings with the RPM store and found them to look after the customer very well.
    Also if you order from them ask them for a quote for shipping - turns out to be much cheaper than the rate shown using the web site calculator.

    I will have Eibach springs and Koni FSDs on my car in the next couple of weeks.

    B8 (Sprint) - shortened shock, designed to work best with lowered springs

    B6 (Sport) - standard length shock, designed to work with factory springs

    I think you'll find the shocks on rpmstore are the B8, but an email to them should straighten things up for you.

    Thanks for clearing that up for me, I guess B8 are the ones I'm after then!
