Bilstein 6112 front coilovers with eibach rear shocks?

[veloci1`]

I ordered a eibach kit. Front and rear. Rears came in and were installed. Front coilovers are n backorder. I tried every co that carries them ,but, no luck, even ebay.
So, will using bilstein Front coilovers 6112 be ok?
Not sure that the Front and rear mix might be an issue.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Bilstein 6112's are on national back order as well. Both the 6112 and the Eibach Coilover should be available next month.

On that note, I would stay with the Eibach, of you already have the rear. These two shocks are valved differently so you want them to match.

I'd just be patient and wait.

Do it right the first time.

My OCD says do not mix and match. My Bilstein 6112s were backordered (they're on now) but was able to put the 5100s in the rear while waiting. Just having the rears in is a major ride improvement over stock. I'd just settle in and wait.

Sadly the Eibach Coilovers are still waiting to be shipped out for everyone. We bought all that we could get our hands on from Eibach during the holidays and still sold out within a week. We currently have a restock set to hit the end of this month and continue to keep feeding on through early February. Whoever you got your kit from may be the same way but definitely speak with them to be certain.

As for your question of mix and matching; you technically could. We actually have a few customers that have done that. But as some have mentioned its best to just wait as these kits are designed to work together as a set due to their valving and what not. So even though they will fit and work just fine, you will be getting slightly different ride feels from the front and the rear that you may not fully enjoy.
