What is the typical lowering amount for this kit?

The Bilstein B12 Sportline kit is designed to lower your vehicle between 30-60mm. The exact amount of lowering can vary slightly depending on the specific application and vehicle weight.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus dampers and Eibach Sportline springs. It is designed as a complete front and rear suspension upgrade. Refer to manufacturer instructions for any additional hardware or tools that may be required.

How does the progressive spring rate affect my car's handling?

Progressive rate springs offer a more adaptable suspension. They provide a softer initial response for comfort over small bumps, but stiffen up as they compress during cornering or hard braking, which helps reduce body roll and improve control.
