Can anyone who has the bilstein b8/b12 kit tell me which way round the front dampers go? On the dampers there is a sticker with a code f4-ve3-a357-h0 on one and f4- ve3-a358-ho which one goes on the driver side which one goes on the passenger side?

Cheers I checked a couple websites and I got left and right but that depends where you standing if your in the car left and right are opposite to if your outside the car looking at it head on. I have sorted it now at first I thought it might be to do with weight distribution but i spoke to the guy i got the of and the only difference is the catches and they only fit in one way so my panic is over lol.
Thanks

in my personal opinion, whenever you talk about left and right on a car, you should always be facing the main direction the car travels, forward

but anyway glad you got it sorted

Yeah that makes sence and that is the way I would have gone in the end if I didn't find out but I just wanted to make sure. I'm not even going to them myself Im getting a garage or a mechanic to do it. I just wanted to put my mind at ease. Anybody know what sort of price I will be looking at for fitting b8's + eibach extra lows and 12.5mm rear spacers?

When trying to work out which is left and right, which way to look at car etc......Just sit in drivers seat. Thats the answer.

if you held the front struts up next to the one you had taken off it would be obvious which one goes on what side it wont fit on the wrong side
