Product Details

Lowering a 1981-1983 Mercedes-Benz 380SEL with mismatched parts is how you end up with a car that crashes and skips. The Bilstein B12 kit pairs the springs and dampers as a designed set.

Inside is Bilstein's monotube design, with the gas and oil separated by a floating piston. That keeps damping consistent when the road turns rough and the unit gets hot, where a lesser damper would go soft.

Features

  • Precise response, excellent driving dynamics and high reserves of safety
  • Offers even lowering between 25-40mm, depending on application
  • Eibach Pro-Kit performance suspension spring with progressive characteristics
