Product Details
Bilstein’s B12 (Sportline) line is built as a matched suspension package, bringing together dampers and lowering springs that are selected for a specific vehicle application. For the 2006-2009 Volkswagen GTI, part number 46-194916 provides a fixed lowering solution that changes ride height while maintaining a coordinated damper-and-spring setup. The monotube damper construction supports consistent response, and the Sportline spring pairing is aimed at a more aggressive lowered stance without mixing unrelated components. This part cross-references E95-85-014-04-22 for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive factory ride height on a Volkswagen GTI
- Uneven suspension response from mismatched springs and dampers
- Body roll during cornering
- Loose or unsettled handling feel after suspension wear
- Need for a fixed lowering setup with matched components

Bilstein 46-194916 is intended for the listed GTI fitment only.
Quality Assurance
