A complete set of 4 Bilstein Sport shocks and struts for lowered (aftermarket) springs. Set includes 2 front struts and 2 rear shocks to replace the original shocks on your BMW E46. The Bilstein Sport (SP) shock is designed for use with a shorter than stock spring (H&R, Eibach, etc). These shocks are shorter overall than the Bilstein HD or a stock shock to provide the correct amount of travel with a lowered or shorter spring. They also feature different bump stops and other hardware to account for the lowered ride height. These are about 20% firmer than a stock shock to provide improved handling and stability while not sacrificing ride comfort. A Sport shock is the perfect complement to a Sport spring because they are better matched to the new spring's ride height and spring rate than the original shock. They are firmer than the stock setting for more body control, better-managed weight transfer, less brake dive, and more overall stability. Bilstein's patented internal technology keeps the ride smooth and composed. You get a stiffer shock without the stiffer ride. Bilsteins are Made In Germany, road tested on the Autobahn, track tested on the Nurburgring, TUV-approved, and used in many Original Equipment applications (premium shocks on many vehicles). Lifetime Warranty!

These are the latest and current Bilstein design - not last year's model or old stock.
Price is for a set of 4. Bilstein part numbers -
Left Front - VE3-B506 / 35-115069
Right Front - VE3-B507 / 35-115076
Rears - BE5-2725 / 24-027250

Optional Items (select below):
Spring Pads - Now is the perfect time to replace worn or damaged spring pads. Kit includes all 8 spring pads.
Rear Shock Mounts- choose from our "Repair Shop" mounts with a lifetime guarantee or our aluminum/urethane mounts which are great for street and light track use.

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.
