Do I need to replace my springs when installing these shocks?

No, the Bilstein B6 Performance shocks are designed to be a direct upgrade to your original equipment dampers and are intended to be used with your factory springs. They offer improved performance without requiring a spring change.

What is the main benefit of the monotube design?

The monotube design allows the shock to dissipate heat more effectively, which helps maintain consistent damping performance even under demanding conditions. This leads to improved grip and better handling stability.

Are these shocks suitable for daily driving as well as spirited driving?

Yes, the vehicle-specific tuning of the B6 Performance shocks aims to provide optimum grip and enhanced lane stability for both everyday driving situations and more extreme conditions.
