Product Information

Suspension Shock Absorber Kit

A shock absorber kit is a set of replacement components designed to restore a vehicle's suspension system. It typically includes shock absorbers along with essential parts like mounting hardware and seals. These components work together to dampen the suspension by controlling the rebounding motion of the springs. Signs of a failing shock absorber include a bouncy ride, excessive body roll during cornering, nose-diving when braking, uneven tire wear, and sometimes visible fluid leaks from the shock.

Suspension Shock Absorber Kit Failure Symptoms
  • Bouncy ride: The most noticeable sign, where the car continues to bounce excessively after hitting a bump
  • Nose dive when braking: The front end of the car dips significantly when applying the brakes
  • Excessive body roll in corners: The car leans excessively when turning, feeling unstable
  • Uneven tire wear: Irregular wear patterns on the tires, often with cupping or scalloping due to inconsistent contact with the road

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.

Amazing stuff!
Let’s say you have a w202 and you want to lower it, so your research first. Go on Amazon and also buy the $70 Mercedes specific spring compressor tool. When using said tool don’t loose all your digits or any limbs. Also buy, rent, or borrow the biggest impact you can afford. Put the whole car on jack stands if you can, and don’t be shy with a hammer. Also 94-96 cars have different spring pads to 97-99 w202. THIS KIT IS FOR 97+ “FACELIFT” CARS! The spring shims or pads are all interchangeable throughout the years. Just remember to buy the SMALLEST ONES. I have 18” AMG wheels off a 2000 S500 with 225/40 in front and 245/40 in the rear (used to be 265) and they don’t rub on the smallest spring shims. Only the fronts rub on super hard cornering in super banked corners. I need to roll my fenders tho to make sure. Also I need a stiffer front sway bar. DON’T FORGET replace all your rubber bushings either with fresh rubber ones or poly ones and also check your tie rod ends and steering dampener shock. Don’t neglect your car and I promise you will out run any bozo in the corners with a good tire setup. This suspension kit has been on my car for less than 24 hours at this point and I already love it. It’s just a little rough coming from completely stock suspension that rode like I was on a cloud. No regrets though. I love how the car looks. It’s also approximately 50mm~~2in lower as well with the right pads, not 40mm as advertised BUT I don’t think that’s a problem as the car looks sick at this ride height. If I could post a picture I would but my car looks a bit mangled and neglected rn. Oh also watch a few YouTube videos on how to do it, too! Obvious stuff but helps a lot. BEST OF LUCK!
