Product Description

The Bilstein 35-264552 is a B8 Performance Plus front strut for 2012-2015 BMW 3 Series and 4 Series F-chassis RWD models without EDC. The B8 Performance Plus series is specifically engineered for use with aftermarket lowering springs -- not stock springs -- and delivers the damping control necessary to complement a lowered ride. The inverted 36mm monotube design reduces unsprung weight and provides excellent heat dissipation for consistent performance under hard driving conditions.

Bilstein's digressive valving delivers firm, controlled damping at low shaft speeds to minimize body roll and brake dive, while remaining compliant over sharp bumps at high shaft speeds -- the trademark Bilstein ride quality. These struts are shorter than the factory units to match the reduced ride height of lowering springs from brands like H&R and Eibach. Sold individually. Must verify EDC and drive configuration before ordering. Made in Germany. Limited lifetime warranty.
