BILSTEIN B12-Pro-Kit Advice

[BeardyJon]

Resurrecting an old thread (as I think it's useful to the discussion) but also to save multiple threads on similar topics.

I'm looking at the Bilstein B12 Kit and understand it's a combo of Eibach Lowering Springs and Bilstein Shocks. I'm noticing on Autodoc there are 2 listings... Bilstein B12 Kit for £965 and an Eibach B12 kit for £682. Are they not the exact same thing? Eibach's website clearly describes the kit as a collab with Bilstein but Bilstein's website doesn't acknowledge Eibach at all.

The Eibach kit says just coil springs in the 'contents' section.

B12 Kit definitely comprises both springs and dampers, the springs are supposedly matched to the dampers for this kit.

I think both kits show as complete, but unless it's a stock photo there's a huge difference in the springs.

Ones for the front axle the other the rear axle….

You can't out-smartass me Mr B!
I meant between the two kits.

A bit more digging and the product photos on Bilstein's online store show Eibach labels on the springs in the B12 kit. So I've got to assume these are the exact same kits just branded differently?

Correct..one is the Bilstein kit and one is the Eibach kit of the same product..

Jollyjoiner has the B12 kit on his 35i, maybe pop him a pm if you’re interested, he’s not a bad old boy….
