Performance Shock and Spring Package for BMW E46 3 Series 316i 318i 318Ci - Part No. 46-331595

Give your E46 the stance, control and confidence it deserves with this expertly matched sport suspension package. This kit pairs Bilstein B8 short-stroke gas pressure shock absorbers with Eibach progressive-rate lowering springs to deliver crisp steering response, flatter cornering and a tasteful ride height drop that looks factory-plus.
