Get an r line vin. Call VW, supply r line vin. Ask for r line struts and springs. Install.

 

Is that all I need? Any VW dealer that sells parts lower (I know for Porsche there are a few dealers that discount).

 

Did you ever upgrade the suspension on your Touareg? What'd you find out about the suspension?

 

I have an R-line and I replaced the suspension with a B12 kit (Bilstein B6 + eibach springs). rides like a charm, about 1/2in lower than my stock R. I really like the stance & comfort (on 20in).

 

The B12 consists of Eibach springs and Bilstein B8 (NOT B6)

 

The B8 has been available for 2011-16 Touareg at least 6 years. Ask me how I know.
PS. It's hilarious to see someone give props to misinformation. Considering the source, I shouldn't be surprised though

 

Theses are the pictures of my kit on my car

Measure your strut from top to bottom.. yours definitely looks like the shorter version (like my B8). When I held the B6 and B8 side by side, the B8 is shorter by ~ 1.2"

 

I know the differences between B4/B6/B8 struts.

different parts have different part numbers. B6 & B8 struts are different and have a different number. There are no B8 stuts for the 2014 gen Touareg

try another model, random example 2018 Golf R. There are B4 and B6 and B8 struts. different parts, different part number.
There are no parts wearing B6 number being different than B6 struts, it wouldn't be manageable.

You are 100% right. All you have to do is look at the Bilstein catalog to confirm that everything you are saying is accurate on the Touareg platform.
