Do these shocks come with everything needed for installation?

This listing is for the front Bilstein B8 shock absorber. While it's designed as a direct replacement, it's recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions to see if any additional hardware or components are needed for installation with your specific lowering spring setup.

What is the benefit of the monotube design?

The monotube design in these Bilstein shocks helps to separate the oil and gas, which prevents foaming and ensures consistent damping performance. This leads to better heat dissipation and more reliable control, especially during demanding driving conditions.

Can I use these shocks with stock height springs?

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus shocks are specifically designed to be used with lowering springs. Using them with stock height springs may not provide the intended performance benefits and could affect ride quality.
