| Project 60: Replacing Front Shocks and Springs | BMW E36 (1992-00)  | | Bilstein Struts & Shocks | | The Bilsteins are a great performance shock absorber, and will give you a tighter feel over the stock units. An all-around durable shock, the Bilstein shock absorbers should last the life of your BMW. The sport Bilsteins give a bit of a stiffer ride, and are best matched with stiffer torsion bars and a lowered suspension. |

Note: for those of you who have upgraded to stiffer rear shocks and springs, we recommend you use 33-52-1-132-104 in place of the regular mounts (33-52-1-128-819), as they are a stiffer mount designed to handle the extra weight of convertible models and are a direct bolt-in replacement. Adding these mounts will help transmit more rebounding energy from stiff shocks than the stock mounts. |
