Bilstein 46-194381 Suspension Kit - Front and Rear

Bilstein B12 Suspension Kit for Saab 9-5

The Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) suspension kit combines Bilstein Performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit springs for a fixed-height lowering setup. For Saab 9-5 owners, it delivers a balanced upgrade in ride control, stance, and suspension response without changing the vehicle’s core geometry beyond the specified lowering range.

Key Features

• Complete suspension kit with Bilstein dampers and Eibach Pro-Kit springs
• Monotube internal design for consistent damping performance
• Moderate lowering range of 24-40 mm depending on application
• Application-specific tuning for the Saab 9-5 chassis
• Yellow dampers with dark grey springs
• Part number 46-194381 for direct identification

Product Line Details

The Bilstein B12 (Pro-Kit) series is built as a matched suspension package rather than a mix of separate components. Each kit is tuned for the specific vehicle application, giving Saab 9-5 drivers a fixed-height lowering solution that pairs controlled damping with lowering springs for a more settled suspension setup. This part number, 46-194381, is listed for Saab 9-5 fitments from 2001-2002 and 2003-2009.

Fitment

• Fits 2003-2009 Saab 9-5, front and rear. Rear lowered height: 30 mm, up to 1050 kg axle load; B12 (Pro-Kit).
• Fits 2001-2002 Saab 9-5, front and rear. From chassis # YS3ES55CD2; B12 (Pro-Kit).

This part cross-references PERFECTION 900058 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive body roll during cornering
• Loose or undercontrolled suspension response
• Uneven ride height from worn springs and dampers
• Factory stance that sits higher than desired
• Inconsistent damping feel across road surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With Saab 9-5 front and rear suspension applications listed above. Verify chassis number, axle load, and model year before ordering, especially for 2001-2002 vehicles with the YS3ES55CD2 chassis break and 2003-2009 vehicles with the specified rear lowered height and axle-load note. Because this is a matched suspension kit, dampers and springs should be installed as a set to preserve the intended ride height and handling balance.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein B12 kits use a monotube damper design and application-specific spring pairing to support consistent suspension performance. The kit is engineered as a fixed-height lowering solution for the Saab 9-5 platform, with components selected to work together as a matched system.
