Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front 36mm Monotube Strut Insert - Select 1989-1995 BMW 525i/530i/535i/540i
This product will be available for sale in 2 weeks, but you can pre-order now to receive 10% discount!
Fits select 1989-1995 BMW 525i, 525iT, 530i, 535i, and 540i.
The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus strut insert is a high-pressure gas monotube damper engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with aftermarket lowering springs or factory sport suspensions. Unlike standard replacement dampers, the B8 is shortened to provide the necessary piston travel and spring tension for lowered ride heights, delivering a controlled, sporty feel while maintaining road comfort.
Featuring a 36mm monotube design, this strut insert (MPN: 34-030196) provides superior heat dissipation and consistent damping force under demanding conditions. It is a direct-fit performance upgrade that replaces the factory front strut internals to bring out the best handling characteristics of the BMW E34 chassis.
- Series: B8 Performance Plus
- Internal Design: 36mm Monotube (Gas Pressurized)
- Position: Front Left or Right
- Optimized for lowering springs and production sport suspensions
- Vehicle-specific ride tuning for improved steering response
- Manufacturer Part Number: 34-030196
