I've got a clunk in the rear though. I'm sure I've read somewhere that the rear shocks need to be upside down. Will try and do a search, although wonder what the best search term will be for that.

It also sways a little from the higher centre of gravity. Nothing serious, just I was expecting it to stiffen up over stock from other posts I have read here and the US.

My rear Bilstein 5100's are "upside down" at the rear. Don't know if that's specific to the WG though.

Just looked, and the writing is upside down. It would be strange though to have the plastic concertina cover thingy at the bottom, and the thin bar at more risk of rock strikes.

Let's hope someone on here knows for sure as i am taking it back tomorrow to get it re-torqued.

Normal Shocks usually go body down, remotes body up.

With the bilsteins, according to their page it doesnt matter.

You can put me in that basket too valpacer . I thought I was alone too, hahaha.

I wouldn't do anything too serious - don't want to muck up the fuel economy. Probably just 265/65/17, or 275/65/17. Currently 245's.
