BMW has tuned a comfortable yet performance oriented suspension system across their model offering. The springs used are a very sophisticated design with both tapered wire diameter and progressive spring rates to ensure the best possible ride quality under varying loads and conditions. Due to environmental conditions, the original coating is commonly compromised thus creating a weak point which yields to failure (cracked springs). Replace your cracked springs with replacement parts from Bilstein.

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Kit includes two front struts. These shocks are for use with lowered springs such as from H&R or Eibach. We do not recommend that you use them with any factory spring, including factory sport package springs. With the increased damping rates from stock you will have much more control over body motions. These will give a much more buttoned down and taut feeling with lowering springs compared to stock shocks.
