Eibach and Bilstein partner to create B12 Pro-Kit and Sportline upgrades
Two of the biggest names in the tuning world have joined forces to create the ultimate handling enhancement, the jointly branded Eibach and Bilstein B12 spring and damper package.
The two German suspension giants have enjoyed a close working relationship for decades, with countless OEM, motorsport and defence applications rolling on bespoke suspension packages tailored to precise client requirements. The new B12 kits put the same levels of build quality, fit and finish within the reach of the average enthusiast.
The B12 packages consist of four Eibach springs and four matched Bilstein dampers, making for the ultimate ‘real-world’ handling upgrade that balances unparalleled ride quality with exemplary handling and poise. Enthusiasts can choose from either the Pro-Kit equipped set-up which offers a drop of between 25 and 30mm or the more aggressively stanced Sportline, which lowers the recipient vehicle by between 45 and 50mm.
The springs have been pre-stressed, shot peened and tempered, before receiving a two-stage zinc-phosphate and electrostatic epoxy coating for a long and durable life. The dampers are of a superior monotube gas and oil design (most OEM units are twin-tube). The springs come with a comprehensive 5 year, unlimited mileage warranty and the damper units with 2 years. As one might expect from these two Teutonic titans, full TUV approval for every single application comes as standard.
The combined effect of the complete B12 kit is a car with less body roll that corners with vastly improved dynamics. Thanks to reduced squat and dive, acceleration and braking characteristics are also often enhanced.
Over 1,000 applications are being launched. Most core Tuner, Japanese and Euro fitments are available, with prices starting from £433.91 + VAT. The B12 kits are available from all Eibach retailers from August onwards.
