Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit 46-180988 Suspension Lowering Kit for BMW E36 3 Series Compact 316i 318ti (1994-2000) - B8 Shocks/Struts & Eibach Pro-Kit Springs - 10-30mm Drop | Springs & Shocks/Struts Upgrade | Fixed-Height Fast-Road Sport Suspension

BMW E36 Compact 316i 318ti Sport Suspension Pack | Part 46-180988

Give your BMW 3 Series Compact the road manners it deserves. This performance spring and damper set teams Bilstein B8 sport shock absorbers with Eibach progressive coils to deliver sharper handling, confident stability and a purposeful ride height drop of around 10 to 30 mm depending on vehicle spec. It is a high quality, road-friendly setup that tightens body control while keeping daily comfort intact.

Perfect for fast-road use on UK tarmac, this German engineered package is a direct-fit replacement for tired original suspension on E36 Compact 316i and 318ti models from 1994 to 2000. Expect crisper turn-in, flatter cornering and a cleaner stance without the faff of height adjustment.
