Its shortened, monotube gas pressure design provides the spring preload needed for lowering or factory sport springs, delivering a sportier, more dynamic driving feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike conventional multi-tube shocks, performance doesn't degrade with age, use, or heat, so no manual adjustment is needed over the shock's life. Installation includes factory-style hardware, though replacing or properly reinstalling the bump stop and protective boot is important to avoid premature damage - sold individually per rear side, so two units complete the rear axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"Upgrade your ride with Bilstein B8 Performance Plus rear shocks for BMW F10\/F06.
