Bilstein B12 kit - dust covers and bump stops
Just received my B12 kit having waiting 5 weeks for delivery.
I was expecting the rear shocks to come with dust cover and bump stops, as I had seen on various other pictures/posts on forums. But they haven’t. Reading further online people seem to question the suitability of the stock bump stop being used on the rear dampers. Does anyone have first hand experience with the B12 pro kit ? Unsure if my kit is missing bits or if okay to just use the OE items off of existing setup. Thanks |

I bought the Bilstein B8 shocks and Eibach ProKit springs separately... but essentially the contents are the same as the B12 kit. To my knowledge they don't come with any rear bump stops or dust covers. Most experts suggest E60 or F80 (I chose these) rear bump stops. If you're in a pinch, you can always cut 1-2" off your stock bump stops... crude but effective.

Great advice thank you!
Just ordered some F80 rear bump stops and dust cover. (Part No: 31337847662) £9.00 a side from the dealership too, can't complain. Quote:
