Bilstein has been building suspension for German performance cars since the 1950s, and the company still supplies factory dampers to Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and Porsche. As an authorized Bilstein dealer, we stock Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit and B14 PSS coilover kits for cars from BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and dozens of other makes. Whether you want a clean, OE-plus stance or a coilover setup you can adjust yourself, Bilstein's B-numbered lineup has an option built around your car. Call us at 1-800-460-9106 and we will help you find the right Bilstein coilovers for your build.
Most drivers come to Bilstein for one of three reasons. They want a lower, more planted stance for daily driving, sharper handling on a favorite back road, or a coilover kit for the occasional track day. Bilstein's product hierarchy covers all three, and we can help match the right series to your car.
Why Drivers Choose Bilstein Coilovers
Bilstein invented the monotube damper in 1957, and that engineering lineage is still the foundation of every Bilstein coilover kit we sell. Mercedes-AMG, BMW M, and Porsche all use Bilstein dampers on factory performance models, which means the company building your aftermarket coilovers is the same one supplying the OEM. That kind of credibility is hard to find anywhere else in the coilover market.
Every Bilstein coilover kit we carry uses Bilstein's gas pressure damper technology and carries a German TÜV certificate. TÜV is the testing standard German manufacturers use to verify ride quality and safety. As an authorized Bilstein dealer, every kit ships factory-sealed with full manufacturer backing. If something does not fit right or feel right after install, we are a phone call away at 1-800-460-9106.
Bilstein coilovers give you German OE engineering at a price point that does not require a track-only budget.
Bilstein Coilover Series Lineup
We stock two main Bilstein coilover lines covering the widest range of cars: the B12 Pro-Kit and the B14 PSS. Between them, these two series cover hundreds of applications across BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Mazda, Mini, Subaru, Toyota, Honda, and more. The B12 Pro-Kit is our highest-volume Bilstein line, and the B14 PSS is the step up for drivers who want height adjustment built into the kit itself.
B12 Pro-Kit: OE-Plus Bilstein Coilovers
The Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit pairs Bilstein's B8 Performance Plus dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs, matched and tuned together for your specific car. Lowering ranges from 24mm to 40mm depending on application. Spring compression height and motion ratio stay close to factory, so ground clearance and suspension geometry stay where Bilstein engineered them.
This is the Bilstein coilover kit for drivers who want a noticeably sportier stance and sharper handling without changing how the car feels on a long drive. The B8 dampers inside every B12 Pro-Kit use Bilstein's monotube gas pressure design, the same internal architecture behind Bilstein's OE-supplier work for German performance brands.
We carry B12 Pro-Kit applications for BMW, including the E90/E92 M3; Audi, including the A3 8V; and Porsche, including the 991 911 with PASM. We also stock fitments for Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Mazda, Mini, and Volvo.
B12 Pro-Kit specs: Eibach Pro-Kit progressive springs paired with Bilstein B8 Performance Plus monotube dampers. Lowering of 24-40mm depending on application, Bilstein gas pressure technology, German TÜV certificate. Manufactured and tested in Germany, including Nürburgring validation.
B14 PSS Coilovers: Adjustable Height, Bilstein-Tuned Damping
The Bilstein B14 PSS is a true coilover kit. Where the B12 Pro-Kit lowers your car to a fixed height, the B14 PSS gives you a threaded body with a locking collar. You can dial in ride height yourself, with up to 50mm of adjustment depending on application. Damping is preset at the factory by Bilstein's engineers, so there are no clickers or knobs to manage. Set your height, lock the collar, and drive.
The B14 PSS uses the same monotube internal design as Bilstein's other performance lines, with a zinc-coated, threaded body for corrosion resistance. Locking collars at both axles give a 20mm adjustable range. Quality sport springs, aluminum spring plates, and Bilstein's Triple-C surface coating round out a kit built for daily driving with occasional track days. The lighter monotube construction also helps keep unsprung weight in check, part of why the B14 PSS feels so direct on a back road.
Popular B14 PSS fitments include the Subaru BRZ, Toyota GR86, and Honda Civic.
B14 PSS specs: monotube internal design with preset Bilstein damping and adjustable ride height. Threaded-body height adjustment up to 50mm depending on application, with locking collars giving a 20mm adjustable range at both axles. Triple-C corrosion coating, aluminum spring plates and lock nuts, German TÜV certificate.
B12 Sportline: Aggressive Lowering for BMW Platforms
For drivers who want to go further than the B12 Pro-Kit's lowering range, the Bilstein B12 Sportline pairs B8 Performance Plus dampers with Eibach Sportline springs. The drop is 30mm to 60mm depending on application. The look is more aggressive and the handling sharper, while the kit keeps Bilstein's monotube damping underneath. We carry B12 Sportline kits primarily for BMW platforms, including the F30/F35 3 Series and F32 4 Series.
B12 Sportline specs: Eibach Sportline progressive springs paired with Bilstein B8 Performance Plus monotube dampers, lowering of 30-60mm depending on application, Bilstein mono-tube/Upside-Down technology, German TÜV certificate.
B12 Pro-Lift Kit: Raised Ride Height for Crossovers
Not every Bilstein build is about going lower. The B12 Pro-Lift Kit pairs Bilstein's B6 Performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Lift springs to raise ride height by up to 30mm depending on application. It is useful for crossovers that need extra clearance without losing on-road manners. We currently carry the B12 Pro-Lift Kit for the Mercedes-Benz GLA250, with more applications available by request.
B12 Pro-Lift specs: Eibach Pro-Lift springs paired with Bilstein B6 Performance dampers, increased ground clearance up to 30mm depending on application, Bilstein gas pressure technology, German TÜV certificate.
Custom Spring Rates and Eibach Springs With Bilstein Coilovers
Every B12 Pro-Kit, B12 Sportline, and B12 Pro-Lift kit we sell comes with Eibach springs already matched to the Bilstein damper for that application, road-tested by Bilstein's engineers so the spring rate and damping work together rather than fighting each other. The B14 PSS ships with its own quality sport springs tuned the same way.
If you are planning to run a Bilstein coilover kit with a different spring rate than what ships in the box, call us before you order. We can talk through what Bilstein has tested for your car and whether a spring change makes sense for how you plan to drive it.
Looking for Bilstein B16, PSS10, PSS9, or Evo Coilovers?
Bilstein's lineup goes beyond the B12 and B14 series. The B16 PSS10 and PSS9 add externally adjustable damping on top of the B14's threaded-body height adjustment. The Evo S, Evo SE, Evo T1, and Evo T2 lines add Bilstein's Dual-Click and Pro-Click damper adjustment for street and track use.
These are not part of our standard Bilstein catalog today, but Bilstein builds applications for an enormous range of cars, and we can source what your car needs. Request a custom suspension quote and our team will track down the right Bilstein B16, PSS10, PSS9, or Evo coilover kit for your car. You can also call us at 1-800-460-9106 to talk through it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bilstein Coilovers
What is the difference between Bilstein B12 and B14 coilovers? The B12 Pro-Kit is a fixed-height lowering kit that pairs Bilstein dampers with Eibach springs. The B14 PSS is a true coilover with a threaded body, so you can adjust ride height yourself after install.
What is the difference between Bilstein B14 and B16 coilovers? The B14 PSS adjusts ride height through its threaded body, with damping preset by Bilstein. The B16 PSS10 adds external damping adjustment on top of that height adjustment, giving you control over ride height and damper firmness.
Is the Bilstein B8 a coilover? On its own, the B8 is a damper, not a complete coilover kit. Bilstein's B12 Pro-Kit and B12 Sportline both use B8 Performance Plus dampers paired with Eibach springs to form a complete kit.
What does PSS stand for? PSS stands for Performance Suspension System, Bilstein's name for its threaded-body coilover kits with preset damping and adjustable ride height.
How much do Bilstein coilovers cost? Pricing depends on your car and which Bilstein series fits it. Call 1-800-460-9106 or use our fitment search and we will get you an exact price for your application.
Do Bilstein coilovers come with a warranty? Bilstein coilover kits carry the manufacturer's standard warranty, and as an authorized dealer we handle warranty questions directly. Call 1-800-460-9106 if you run into an issue.
Can I install Bilstein coilovers myself? Bilstein B12 Pro-Kit and B14 PSS coilovers bolt in using factory mounting points, so an experienced home mechanic with the right tools can usually handle the install. Most drivers have it done at an alignment shop, since ride height changes affect alignment.
Will Bilstein coilovers affect my car's alignment? Yes. Any time ride height changes, camber and toe settings shift. Plan on a full alignment after installing B14 PSS coilovers or after a B12 Pro-Kit lowers your car.
Are Bilstein coilovers good for daily driving? Yes. The B12 Pro-Kit and B14 PSS are both built for daily driving first, with sportier handling and a lower stance that does not give up ride comfort. Drivers who also want track days size up to Bilstein's B16 or Evo lines through a custom order.
Does Bilstein make coilovers for my car? Bilstein covers a wide range of BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Mazda, Mini, Subaru, Toyota, Honda, and Volvo applications, among others.
