Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit Suspension Kit 46-180971 for BMW 3 Series E36 318i/318is Convertible (1993-1999) - B8 Dampers + Eibach Pro-Kit Springs - 10-30mm Lowering

Bilstein B12 Performance Suspension for BMW E36 Cabriolet 318i and 318is - Part No. BILSTEIN-46-180971

Give your E36 3 Series convertible the road manners it deserves with the Bilstein B12 package. This premium set combines Bilstein B8 shortened performance shock absorbers with Eibach Pro springs for a lower ride height, sharper handling and a purposeful, even stance. It is the go-to fixed-height street setup for fast-road driving, daily usability and long-term reliability.

Ride height reduction is typically around 10 to 30 mm depending on vehicle spec, delivering crisper turn-in, better mid-corner control and noticeably reduced body roll while keeping ride comfort intact. We have installed this system on customer cars and the feedback has been consistently positive - tighter responses, improved grip and a clean drop that looks factory fresh.

Why this upgrade works

• Bilstein B8 monotube gas-pressure struts and dampers - consistent performance under hard use
• Eibach progressive-rate coils - supple over bumps, firm when you push on
• Approx. 10 to 30 mm lowering for a sportier look and improved stability
• Direct replacement components - no cutting or fabrication needed
• TUV approved German engineering for quality you can trust
• Excellent road comfort compared with many budget coilovers

Included in the box

• 4 x Bilstein B8 performance shock absorbers
• 4 x Eibach Pro springs
