Bilstein B12 Sportline Suspension Kit 46-190956 for BMW E34 5 Series (518i, 520i, 520i 24V, 525i 24V, 525td, 525tds) - Shocks & Springs Lowering Kit

Performance Spring and Damper Set for BMW 5 Series E34 - Part Number 46-190956

Give your classic 5 Series the road feel it deserves. This matched spring and shock absorber package is a proven fast-road upgrade for the BMW E34 platform, delivering sharper turn-in, flatter cornering and a purposeful ride height without sacrificing day-to-day usability. It is the ideal sport suspension pack for drivers who want confident handling, predictable response and a clean, even drop that looks right on an E34.

We run this kit on our own cars and have installed it for many MJ Modifications customers. Feedback is consistent - tighter body control, better traction, improved stability under braking and a smart stance that complements the E34’s lines. If you want a no-fuss, fit-and-forget setup rather than adjustable coil overs, this fixed rate spring and damper combo is the sweet spot for real roads.

What you will feel on the road

• More direct steering with reduced float and lean
• Greater mid-corner stability and grip over bumps
• Even ride height reduction for an OEM-plus look
• Gas pressure shock technology for consistent performance on spirited B-road drives
• Balanced comfort - firm and controlled without being crashy

Lowering and ride height

Expect a noticeable drop of up to 50 mm depending on model and spec, with spring rates and damper valving tailored to the E34 chassis. Geometry remains sensible, ground clearance is usable and the stance is level front to rear when fitted correctly.

• Vehicle-specific tuning for the 5 Series E34 platform
• Direct-fit installation that works with standard mounting points
• Matched shocks and springs engineered to work together
