Bilsteins renowned sport tuned mono-tube gas dampers.
Since their inception, Bilstein has been a force in the suspension world. From racing and testing in Formula 1, NASCAR, SCCA, Rally, and Off Road to original equipment on BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota and GM trucks, Bilstein Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers offer some of the best qualities one can find in dampers.
These provide exceptional, fade-free control, precise handling, outstanding performance, as well as a confident, controlled ride.
Conventional shocks slowly lose efficiency and eventually fail over a period of time, we have found Bilstein Shocks continue to deliver optimum performance for an exceptionally long period of time. Confident, poised handling and ride are maintained for years and years with many thousands of miles. One of the reasons why they are so popular among so many BMW enthusiasts.
Bilstein's shocks come with a life time warranty from the manufacturer and have been a popular choice of BMW enthusiasts for decades when upgrading from their stock suspension. The ride quality is firm but not overly aggressive and is great choice for a sporty street car or daily driver. An ideal match for an E30 sport or lowering spring kit.
Includes complete matched set of:
- (2) Front mono-tube inverted gas Sport Struts
- (2) Rear mono-tube gas Sport Shocks
Fitment Notes:
- Fits E30s with 51mm front strut housings only. This is most 325 and all M3 models. Not for IX models.
VAC Tech's Tip:
- Bilstein's shocks are valved with a lot of body control. A trick we have come to recommend highly is to add both a front strut brace, and front lower x-brace. Both combined make an E30 with Bilsteins handle incredibly and yet improve ride quality vs. no bracing.
- If ride quality is a concern on your E30, we recommend you have a look at our custom Koni damper set, they ride better.
