Exige s bilstein

[philallan]

What do these normally go for second hand? Thinking of selling mine, as prob not going to get used again since putting ohlins on and will free up some money for essentially a free upgrade

[Thorburn]

Depends how many miles they've covered, but generally nowhere near enough to make Ohlins a free upgrade!

[philallan]

Oh no not for ohlins more for a sports cat I've seen

Done just over 10k miles and no leaks etc, only took them off car as went on track day and was passenger in exige with ohlins and couldn't believe difference.

Only other thing I was advised was to keep them for when/If my need rebuilding one day which is prob worth while if they aren't worth much.

I don't need to be reading this

Never had the inclination to change the Bilsteins on mine, but comments like this do make me wonder whether something like Ohlins or Nitrons would be a worthwhile upgrade in the future.

Haha same it was never on the list of things to do for me as I thought they were already very good, but during the few laps I was in the other car at croft I couldn't believe the difference, car didn't seem to roll as much and turned in much better.

But then I thought oh prob only good on track only to be told they were better than the bilstein on road too
