    Bilstein B12 Pro Kit

    Is anyone running this B12 Pro Kit for the convertible? It doesn't go super low, but welding in coilovers seems like a bad idea.
    Too bad the KW coils are almost $4k.

    Wondering how the B12 kit looks and rides. Thanks!

      all i can tell you is the eibachs run softer than h&r. it can make for a better ride and easier on older backs, but they can bottom the car easier. i wound up taking the eibachs off my i and went with h&r, but it's not a daily.

          I ran Eibach before. It's not as rough a ride as the H&R race springs (with Bilstein B8s) , but the H&R have less body roll then the Eibach. I am used to the H&R race springs, but I have contemplated going with H&R sports and stiffer sway bars for a smoother ride. I would imagine that bilstein chose the springs and valved the shocks for them. I bet it's a nice ride.

              kinda doubt it. i'd bet ecs pieced it together.
              fwiw an adjustable koni yellow would probably work better with the eibach than a billie for that very reason. they'd be good with the h&r too. i think the billies are a tougher shock though.

                  Bilstein put the kit together. You can find it on their website and sold by many retailers besides ECS tuning.

                      seems strange as they've had a long association with h&r. things change.
