Perfect partner for lowered E82 suspension

Running shorter springs on your BMW 1 Series Coupe E82? This Bilstein B8 rear unit uses a shortened body and tailored damping to maintain travel and control with reduced ride height. The result is tighter body control, better road holding and a more connected feel, without the float or bounce you can get when using stock-length shocks on a lowered car.
