Bilstein Front Shocks Part Number

[Tyron68]

Can someone help me out with the Bilstein part number a 1969 charger? Front shocks only. Is it 55-R082?

How do you justify that for 2 shocks? Are they that good for $312?

10% discount for members. And yes, they are good!

Yes, they are the best bang for your buck. Buy once, cry once.

KYB Gas Adjust are good enough for the money.

Ok this is strange. Didn’t understand why Jegs or Summit didn’t have that Bilstein part. I called Bilstein and they said that part number is discontinued so if I am finding 55-R082 somewhere that is stock that won’t be replenished. He said they no longer will make that shock. Found another thread with contact info from Mark with PST. Gonna give him a call to ask more about this as they clearly have them on their website.

Bilstein doesn't make classic Mopar shocks. A company called RCD Classics buys them from Bilstein and re-engineered them to work.

Another nice option are the Koni 80 1538 Classic Shock..
Available from Amazon.
IMHO.. Koni and Bilstein are the best available shocks for our Mopar B bodies..

Just my $0.02..

Yup..
KYB, Monroe, Gabriel shocks are much cheaper..
Spending the $$ just depends upon the handling and quality of ride one expects...

Just my $0.02...

I did go a little cheaper on the rears with KYB’s but wound up doing Bilsteins in the front. So many people seem to have positive feedback on the Bilsteins that so had to give them a try.
