Product Information

46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

Bilstein B8 Sport monotube shocks and struts deliver absolute mastery of the road surface for the performance-minded driver. Designed to push a car's suspension to its performance peak, these shocks are specifically suited for use with special lowering springs in combination with anti-sway bars or other suspension upgrades.

WARNING: Proposition 65 information
Suspension Shock Absorber

If your suspension is feeling "bouncy" or "loose" it can likely be attributed to blown or worn shock absorbers. The purpose of shock absorbers is to dampen the recoil of the coil spring as your travel over dips and bumps in the road.

Suspension Shock Absorber Failure Symptoms
  • Noise over bumps
  • Squeaks
  • Leaks
  • Poor Handling
  • Harsh ride

About Bilstein B8 Performance Plus

Bilstein shocks and strut perform due to their larger piston area and quality manufacturing. Bilstein shocks eliminate dead spots, and deliver extremely responsive valving for superior performance and handling, including consistent, fade-free damping and shorter braking distance. Made only from the highest quality materials, Bilstein shocks reduced valve fatigue means they last much longer than standard stock replacement components. If you’re looking for a performance lowering shock absorber or strut, the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus is up to the task. Designed to enhance your car’s lowered suspension, Bilstein’s monotube gas pressure technology delivers a sporty ride with remarkable comfort. This class shock is considered by us at FCP as performance upgrade to any shock and is ideal for vehicles with a lowered stance.

Bilstein shocks
I've been using bilstein shocks since late 90s on all of my BMWs and getting best performance and stability everyday drive or on the race track. Bilstein HD for daily driver cars are the best but for my e39 m5 this shocks are great! better than original.

Questions & Answers

Ask a question
Question Posted by James
Will aftermarket springs lower my e39 M5 as opposed to the stock springs and will the stock springs work or will the ride height be higher.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Stock springs on the B8's will not give you a stock ride height unfortunately, the spring purches would sit differently on the shock body compared to factory.
Question Posted by Paul
Do these shocks require bump stops on the rear of a 2001 M5? OEM are a different diameter than these B8.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, the shock uses factory bump stops.
Question Posted by Xiaoming
Do these require a new set of lower springs for E39 M5 (mine is 2002 model year), I currently have original shocks and springs in he rear.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
While a new spring is not required, it is recommended to change the springs as well to retain optimal performance; especially if you are using the original springs depending on mileage.
Question Posted by Frank
What is the difference between a Bilstein B8 and a Bilstein B4? Can I put the B8 on the front and the B4 on the rear? It was recommended to me to use Bilstein Sport all around as replacement for the stock units. This is a semi-daily driver. Thanks.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Bilstein B4 Touring are OE style replacements designed to perform like original equipment in terms of ride comfort. Bilistein B8's are monotube performance shock absorber designed to work with lowering springs. It is not advised to mix/match B4's and B8's between the front and rear. B8's can be daily driven but note that because of increased damping and due to the fact they re designed to work with lowering springs they will ride much firmer than stock equipment.
