    Bilstein B4 Touring series struts for ZHP 330i

    I saw these struts on sale and wondered if they will Match the OEM performance on my ZHP. My struts are really bad right now do any new strut will be an improvement but still want to match OEM. Any body know?

    Unless you plan on changing the spring out, those touring shocks will not be upto the job. If you want to have the same ride quality as the car came with, goto page 9 for the same exact shocks that I have attached.

    Bilstein has a B4 sports, that is what you need to look at, otherwise I think you will blow out the regular shock rather quickly.

    As stated by dworthy, the B4 touring is pretty similar in valving to the standard sport shocks and are pretty well matched to the standard sport springs. The ZHP will demand a more robust shock. And thats where the B4 sport is better suited.

    SACHS is the OE provided to BMW, as you get the same shock without the roundel.
