Can I use my original springs with these shocks?

Yes, the Bilstein B6 shocks are designed as a performance upgrade for OE dampers. This means they are intended to work with your vehicle's original factory springs, simplifying installation.

What is the benefit of a monotube shock absorber?

Monotube shock absorbers, like these Bilstein B6s, use gas pressure to keep the oil and gas separated. This design helps prevent fluid aeration and foaming, leading to more consistent damping performance and improved handling, especially under demanding conditions.

Does this shock absorber come with any hardware?

This product listing is for the Bilstein B6 shock absorber itself. It is designed to be a direct replacement for your OE damper, so it typically reuses existing mounting hardware. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details.
