Hi folks, I've been meaning to do a long write up forever and just haven't found the time. After you helped me solve my longstanding garnish trim problem, I figured it was time to post it clean and simple:
I went for the full Bilstein B6 suspension replacement. Rear, front, everything. I did it.
And it worked.
Not sure if anybody else has done it and posted, but I wanted to put it out there that the B6 can be installed in the front. According to my mechanic, the baffle needs a little extra work. But we did it back in April '23 and it's been driving like a dream ever since. It probably took ~1,000 miles to "settle" but now, whoa boy, it's dialed in.
I'm attaching a few pics and happy to try and answer questions if anybody has them. Vehicle is a 2003 Element EX 5-speed with AWD.
