BMW Suspension Parts for BMW 5 Series E39 (1996-2003)

Factory Pre-set Damping 

The Variant 1 is KW's basic simple and effective coil over kit that is still packed with lots of features -

• Pre-set damping optimized for a blend of ride comfort and handling with less bodyroll than the standard suspension,
• Stainless steel strut/shock bodies and composite spring perches for superior corrossion resistance,
• Individually height-adjustable - Front = 35-65mm lowering; Rear = 30-60mm lowering,
• TUV approved lowering range and operation,
• Expert engineering and design for ease-of-use and long durability,

This is the ideal coil over kit for an E39 wagon owner who does not plan on tracking or autocrossing the car and just wants a lower, more aggressive stance and better handling. KW has set the shock damping rates to be an excellent balance for a smooth yet taut ride, and to resist bodyroll motions for better handling. The Variant 1 differs from the Street Comfort set in that it has stiffer springs and revised shock settings. If you want a sportier ride and better handling than stock the Variant 1 is an excellent choice. 

Fitment Notes: This kit retains the original self-leveling rear airbag spring. It includes rear shocks and ride height sensor to lower the rear. Wheel spacers may be required depending on wheel/tire sizing and ride height setting.

Bilstein has teamed up with Eibach to offer matched shock and spring packages. These Eibach springs are mated to a special set of Bilstein shocks to deliver a sporty and taut ride with as little impact on ride comfort as possible.

The Pro Kit uses an Eibach Pro Kit spring with Bilstein's Sport shocks and struts. Instead of taking parts from different manufacturers, Bilstein has tested the performance of the Eibach spring and tailored their shocks to be a true match for the new spring rate and ride height. This is known as a matched shock and spring and very few tuning companies take these extra steps. Eibach springs tend to be softer overall than most other aftermarket springs, which ensures the ride stays close to a stock comfort while still giving you a lowered stance and improved handling. 

Bilstein B12 Features: 

• Precise response and excellent driving performance
• Springs and shocks road tested and fine-tuned to complement one another
• Bilstein Monotube/Inverted gas pressure technology
• TUV certified
• Made In Germany
• Average Lowering of 25 to 40mm

Most cars don't need coil overs to improve their handling and bodyroll. For most drivers, simply replacing the shocks and springs with performance versions will meet their goals. If your shocks need replacing, and you felt the handling could be improved a little bit, this is an excellent performance suspension for you.
