Package Pictures: http://www.rcolt.com/showthread.php?6764-Bilstein-Coil-overs/page5

Part number for Bilstein B14 coil overs to suit the 2004-2008 1.1 tidler right through to 1.5T, Di-D, CZC/CZT is 47-168053




















UK member:

Quite a few of us in UK are using the b14 kit and like them very much, probably the cheapest coilovers at £600. I haven't seen them fitted to the 5 door model though.
Also I've heard a b12 model is in development with adjustable damping

 UK suspension is slightly different. I believe the spring diameter is the issues hence the top hat is different.
Part numbers needed are:
40162
40146
The 40002 Plastic bearing is re-used from the ADM Colt.

I use vice grips and on the piston and a rattle gun. Vice grips stops any spining so no chance of damage.

Show in the Ralliart Suspension Install Catalogue - RA977648S1.pdf

Some  information by Fizz:
ADM strut top mount = 4060A194
CZT strut top mount = 3 part numbers found:
4060A042 & 4060A081 & MR961791

Also, the part number for the bearing (40002) in both the ADM Colt and CZT are different again:
ADM strut bearing = MR961787 listed as Z25
CZT strut bearing = MR961796 listed as Z34


<-Smaller diam top hat spring perch

vice grips (i use some old power steering belt, cut up to protect the piston)->






<-Tools

Brake line mount, you dont reuse stock bracket ->








<- smaller diameter spring perch








ABS line fitting (stock bracket is no longer used)







 New rear upper mounts to do away with the stock perished rubber.






The base is slightly narrower on the suspension strut. It could do with a thin washer. I torqued the bolt to spec ~90NM+10NM that seemed to have compressed the torsion beam mount enough to bite onto the strut. We shall see if it still moves.







I reused the stock springs protector on the bottom of the spring.
