Product Details

The Bilstein B16 (PSS9) line is built around adjustable performance suspension for drivers who want control over stance and damping without changing the OE-style direct fit layout.

The 9-stage adjustment range lets you fine-tune damping for changing road conditions and driving demands. This part number, 48-086035, is also referenced for the same application under cross-reference number 35245001.
