Get this done professionally though - and it should work!

I can 't remember the difference off th top of my head, but don't fit them, you'll be dissapointed Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54034-important-bf2-shockssprings-will-not-fit-earlier-models/page/2/#findComment-946202 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TORM3NTED Member 2 Member For: 15y 1m 17d Posted 05/05/10 01:37 PM Share Posted 05/05/10 01:37 PM You can use BA - BFI shock and spring together in a BFII but must be both shock and spring at the same time. The BFII sring has a larger diameter then the BA-BFI. The BF shock and spring will not fit in BA-BFI.I found this out due to Bilstien not making a shock for BFII yet that's why my car is fitted with BA-BFI Bilstein shocks and king springs and my stock shock has been sent to Bilstien for them to make a shock to suit.hey mate hey how r ya, this guy I know is trying to sell me a set of Bilstien shocks and springs for $1000 buks cause he had them in his car but it is twisted and has a lean and needs adjustable ones. aprantly havent been drivin in, is this a good price or I was reading your blog saying they didn't build one for bf11? we both have bf mk11 tornado utes Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/54034-important-bf2-shockssprings-will-not-fit-earlier-models/page/2/#findComment-1005276 Share on other sites More sharing options...
