Turbo rears (and fronts) are listed but without springs.

And it also turns out, as pointed out by IWOOT this site is offering £170/pair complete Bilies for each end, which is a bargain from Bilsteins own refurbished price!

I paid £170 each 6 months ago!

Are the rear bilstein shockers different on the turbo?  Heavier rating perhaps?  Are the ones for sale turbo or na?

Yes they're different, and the Turbo ones are cheaper!

Given how much it is to get a seat re-bolstered, padded etc, you'd be better off buying new here!

Turbo rears (and fronts) are listed but without springs.

 

So, do we know if the springs are available?  From anywhere?

They're standard springs from Eibach. Judging from the price here, they should be around £40 each. https://www.vx220par...eibach-springs/

How are they different?  Do we have a definitive answer anywhere?

Think the rears have stronger springs on the tubby to hold up its lardy arse but the fronts are the same

I think the S2 Exige springs are a closer match to the original spring rates on a turbo. https://www.elisepar...eibach-springs/

Hmmmm.  There's a lot of thinking going on here.  What I'm after is a definitive answer as to the difference between NA and turbo shocks/spring ratings, as I'm in the market for new suspension all round.  Couldn't find that definitive answer using search unfortunately.

The tanks themselves aren't 116 specific (at least I don't think so). But the inclusion of the pump/canister in a fully assembled package makes them 116 specific, I guess.

are tank capacities the same , internal baffles perhaps. I could not work it out from deroure data anyway.

VX tank/pump unit is some kind of hybrid between S1 and S2. Mounting of the unit with a snap ring is VX specific as the S2 uses a bolted ring.

To the best if my knowledge shocks are the same on both front springs are the same rears are stronger on a turbo
