After almost close to 4 months of waiting, finally my fav handling mod is here!

As I previous user of Bilstein B12 on a BMW E90, I really like B8 shock absorbers and Eibach Springs. They couple really well, balance between performance and comfort. There is no funny creaking sound which will happen in most coilover. Even found some of the branded ones.

This is Bilstein have to say:

“The BILSTEIN B12 Pro-Kit allows vehicles to be lowered up to 40mm. The kit has the perfect combination of sporty dynamics, aesthetics, and load bearing capacity. 

This BILSTEIN B12 kits consist of tailor-made BILSTEIN B8 high-performance shock absorbers that are perfectly matched with EIBACH springs for an optimal ride.”

Is unwrap time!
