The Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kit is designed to enhance the driving experience of your Volkswagen Golf TDI Hatchback.

Construction & Design

The Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kit features monotube gas-pressure dampers that are TIG-welded and built to withstand demanding driving conditions.

The combination of Bilstein's advanced damping technology and Eibach's proven spring design results in a suspension system that enhances vehicle stability, reduces squat and nose-dive during acceleration and braking, and maintains a consistent ride height. The kit's components are engineered to work together seamlessly, ensuring long-lasting performance and a refined driving experience.
