They will, however the bottom of the front struts (clevis bracket) is narrower than BA/BF so you'll have to modify that with some spacers. Get this done professionally though - and it should work!

They will fit, however they won't lower the car as much as you think. I can 't remember the difference off th top of my head, but don't fit them, you'll be dissapointed

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

SOO, I bought some lovells front springs off a guy on here, he has them in a bf mk2 xr6 turbo ute which is plated june/2007, mine is a bf mk2 xr6 turbo ute which is plated dec/07, on the lovells part list these springs are the part number to suit a BA or BF mk1 Xr6 or xr6T ute, yet they fitted also into the june plated BF Mk2 ute, lowering it ofcourse which is what I am trying to achieve, I have put these springs into my ute Dec/07 as seeming the fitted in the earlier one they should fit mine but do not, instead it has raised my ute?? can someone please explain why this would be?

Cheers Jase

There is no hard and fast rule as to where the struts changed over - it would seem that you have the later BF2 struts and the original owner had the earlier BF1 and BA struts
