Bilstein B8 cartridge replacement
Seems a shame to shitcan a good B8 body but I'm having a tricky time finding info on replacing the cartridges in B8's. I see some Porsche options but that's it. Anyone successfully source replacement cartridges for a BMW application? It's an easy job, but finding the cartridge is an issue. Maybe it's one of those situations where the part costs as much as the entire assembly?

Thanks for the links and info, guys.
I noticed the front feeling a bit "static". Looked and saw some seepage from the strut. Digging a little deeper into the strut this weekend but it's clearly the cartridge that shit the bed. Not faulting them; lots of miles on 'em and they've been great. |

Please keep us updated. I would be curious if I can swap out my B6 cartridge for a B8, to make it easier (cheaper?) to upgrade. I was under the assumption that the bodies were the same between the two and just the cartridge was different.
