Engineered to last

This shock and spring set uses factory-grade materials throughout: high-tensile steel coils with multi-layer corrosion protection and an epoxy top coat, plus heat-resistant twin-tube shock absorbers with low-friction sealing and a robust one-piece guide assembly. The result is consistent damping performance, durability through all seasons and a refined ride that suits both petrol and diesel models.

Whether you are upgrading a 135i for fast-road use or tightening up an 118d daily driver, this BMW 1 Series lowering kit gives you flatter cornering, better steering feel and a purposeful stance. It is the ideal strut and spring solution for drivers who want a tidy drop without going to a coilover.
