Koni suspension has taken their long running FSD (Frequency Selective Dampening) Technology and improved upon it to create their new Special Active suspension package. Improving handling while also improving the comfort of your BMW's ride, Special Active shocks and struts prove they are a top contender in the replacement suspension market.

Koni's Special Active dampers adapt to the continuous imperfect road conditions in order to provide you with a more responsive and smoother ride. Thanks to multiple generations of suspension expertise, these shocks and struts rival expensive ride control systems of newer vehicles but at a cost that is significantly lower and a capability to be retrofitted into existing vehicles.

Designed by Koni for the vehicle's original stock ride height, these are not intended to be used with lowering springs and will perform best when paired with stock springs.

Koni Special Active Features:

  • KONI’s latest generation of Frequency Selective Damping Technology
  •  Improves safety and road holding
  •  Technology proven on over 1.5 million factory equipped vehicles
  •  Secure and stable feeling for spirited driving

Control arm bushings play a key role in connecting the wheels to the chassis of the vehicle. Tasked with keeping suspension geometry in check while absorbing noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) factory rubber bushings were engineered to provide a balance of comfort and control. As a factory bushing ages, it becomes brittle and begins to harden. When this happens the bushing will actually shrink and allow excess play in the suspension joint. This is typically felt by a sudden jerk forward after the car comes to a stop and is a leading cause of "sloppy" or "loose" suspension feel. By replacing the bushing with a full polyurethane unit or using a bushing insert, this play is eliminated since the suspension joint is being supported by a much stiffer material that will not harden or shrink over time. Additionally, the inherent stiffness of the urethane material translates body forces much more directly. This means steering inputs from the driver are effectively transferred to the wheels and vital road information is transmitted properly from the wheels to the driver.

Powerflex Black Series bushings are the ultimate in track and race bushings. Featuring 95A durometer polyurethane, Black Series bushings are 25% stiffer than street bushings. Engineered to perform, Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings offer a supreme level of control, while still providing enough comfort for the street, with advanced polyurethane that reduces NVH that often accompanies lesser bushings. Expect improved steering feel, turn in, more responsive handling and overall improved chassis composure with Powerflex performance polyurethane control arm bushings.

Poweflex is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket suspension bushings. Using state of the art design and manufacturing, all replacement bushings are engineered to out-perform and out-last the ones that came in the car. Each line of bushings is meticulously tested and then re-tested to ensure perfect fitment and enduring quality through the life of the vehicle. A full lifetime warranty backs every one of their products and demonstrates the level of confidence and commitment Powerflex has to their customers.

Part of maintaining the precision and crisp handling of your BMW is with refreshing the shock mounts from time to time. The rubber parts that mount the front struts and rear shocks to the chassis suffer from age and mileage just like any other rubber part on the car. Over time they become weak and sloppy and that leads to poor ride characteristics, alignment issues, poor steering feedback and the associated clunks and other noises.

This set of stock mounts replaces the original worn-out shock mounts, bushings, bearings, bump stops, and pads on your existing suspension. This package includes all of the original parts used in the E39 factory sport suspension. If you're overhauling your E39 suspension with the factory sport shocks and springs this is the mount package you need (see our other listings if you're using performance shocks such as Bilstein). Installing new mounts with new struts and shocks will ensure proper performance and avoid doing the labor twice if a used mount fails soon after. These are all factory BMW or OEM parts so they fit right and perform just like the factory original parts.

Included in our E39 mount kit is:
  • front strut bearing dust cap
  • front strut mount
  • front upper cupped washer (lower dust cap)
  • front bump stop
  • flat washer
  • front upper spring plate
  • front upper spring pad
  • front lower spring pad
  • rear upper cupped washer
  • rear shock mount
  • rear upper spring pad
  • rear lower cupped washer
  • rear bump stop
  • rear lower spring pad You save $$ when buying all of these parts as a package!!

    Note for 1997-1999 528i, 540i: BMW had a factory recall to replace the front struts and lower spring perches on pre-2000 528i and 540i models. The lower spring perch was redesigned to be stronger and our mount kits cover front struts that have already been replaced under this recall. If yours has not been done we strongly recommend contacting your BMW dealer and having the recall and replacement parts installed. This does not apply to most aftermarket struts, including Bilstein, as their spring perch incorporates the new design.
