Bilstein 46-180315 Suspension Kit - Front and Rear
Bilstein B12 Sportline Suspension Kit
The Bilstein B12 (Sportline) suspension kit combines Bilstein Performance dampers with Eibach Sportline springs for a fixed-height lowering setup. It is built for drivers who want a lower stance and firmer suspension response on compatible Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta applications.
Part number 46-180315 is tuned for specific vehicle applications and lowers the ride height approximately 30-60 mm depending on the model. The monotube damper design and matched spring rates work together to deliver controlled suspension dynamics, consistent damping response, and a more aggressive appearance.

- Bilstein Performance dampers paired with Eibach Sportline springs
- Monotube internal design for consistent damping performance

- Fixed-height lowering solution with application-specific tuning

Application Details
Compatible with 1999-2006 Volkswagen Golf, front and rear, without self-leveling suspension. Compatible with 1999-2005 Volkswagen Jetta, front and rear, without self-leveling suspension. This part cross-references Eibach suspension kit part numbers E20-85-001-02-22 and E95-85-001-02-22 for the same application.
The Bilstein B12 Sportline line is aimed at drivers who want a matched damper-and-spring package rather than mixing separate components. For Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta owners, part number 46-180315 provides a direct lowering suspension solution with vehicle-specific tuning.

- Excessive factory ride height
- Loose or undercontrolled suspension feel
- Uneven handling response during cornering
- Body roll from soft OE suspension tuning
- Outdated stance on lowered-performance street builds
Installation Notes
Verify that the vehicle does not have self-leveling suspension before ordering. This kit is specified for front and rear installation on the listed Volkswagen Golf and Volkswagen Jetta applications. Because the springs provide a fixed lowering amount, confirm clearance for wheels, tires, and suspension travel before installation.
Quality Assurance
Bilstein uses a monotube damper design and application-specific tuning in the B12 (Sportline) series to support consistent suspension control and fitment accuracy. Part number 46-180315 is built as a matched suspension kit for the listed vehicle applications.
