DESCRIPTION

Made by the leaders of the industry, the Bilstein B8 shock absorbers are a premium shock absorber with superior internal hardware & design. Intended for M-Sport models, lowered vehicles, or those looking to upgrade to the best sports shocks for usable street/track performance. Designed for those searching for a road-biased performance gas shock yet is still comfortable and useable day-to-day. Developed and fine-tuned by Bilstein’s own engineers at the Nurburgring, their patented mono-tube technology helps to ensure the handling of your E30 is dramatically improved from the factory specifications. For many driving enthusiasts the Bilstein B8 shock absorber is the perfect upgrade, utilising quality components that make the original factory-fitted shocks look and feel like antiques. The Bilstein B8s are direct-replacement shock absorbers providing increased longevity and come complete with dust boot and internal bump stop. 

All variants of the E30 were released with both 46mm and 51mm strut housings, with no strict rules as to which models came out with which. Unfortunately we’re unable to determine which struts your E30 has from your VIN. We strongly advise all customers to measure the diameter of the strut before ordering. A simple way of finding out whether you have 46mm or 51mm suspension on your E30 is by placing a piece of string around the strut tube and then measuring the string.

HELPFUL TIPS

You will need an adjustable hook spanner for installation of the front struts on your E30, which can be purchased from most tool shops.
