Do I need to buy new springs to use this shock absorber?

No, this Bilstein B6 shock absorber is designed to work with your vehicle's original factory springs. You can use your existing springs for an improved handling experience.

What is a monotube shock absorber?

A monotube shock absorber has a single tube design that separates the oil and gas. This design helps with heat dissipation, leading to more consistent damping performance, especially during demanding driving conditions.

What does 'vehicle-specific valve settings' mean?

This means the shock absorber is tuned specifically for the weight and suspension characteristics of your particular vehicle model. This ensures it works optimally to provide improved grip and stability for your car.
