Bilstein B12 (B8 Shocks + Eibach Pro‑Kit) Sport Suspension Kit 46-180964 for BMW 3 Series E36 Convertible/Cabriolet 1993-1999 – Lowering Spring & Shock Absorber Upgrade – Fits 320i 323i 325i 328i – Fixed Height Fast-Road Handling Drop Kit

Bilstein 46-180964 B12 Sport Suspension Package for BMW 3 Series E36 Cabriolet 320i 323i 325i 328i

Give your E36 soft-top the road manners it deserves. The Bilstein 46-180964 B12 package combines Bilstein B8 short-stroke dampers with Eibach progressive-rate springs for a confident drop in ride height, sharper steering feel and outstanding stability on British B-roads. It is a direct-fit spring and shock absorber set that boosts cornering grip and delivers a purposeful stance while staying comfortable for daily use.

We have installed this setup on our own cars and for many customer builds, and the feedback is consistently excellent. Body control is tight without being crashy, high-speed composure improves, and the car sits just right. If you want your 3 Series E36 Cabrio to feel alive on the road without the fuss of height adjustment, this is the kit we recommend.
