For LOWERED Cars
PART NUMBER: 61-0530
DESCRIPTION
NON-adjustable Bilstein SPORT shocks for MX5....full set of four. A good match for our Progress, Eibach Pro Kit and other lowering springs.BRIAN'S APPLICATION NOTES: No extra lowering. Rebound and Compression are EXACTLY the same on these SPORT as on the Bilstein HD. The only difference is that these are about half an inch shorter, ideal for keeping max travel with lowering springs.
Brian's Application Notes: Part Two. Get enough requests for details specs comparing these Sports to full length HD version that we will put this spec comparison here so it can be found easier later.

Customer Reviews
Bilstein B8 SPORT Shocks
I bought and installed these with the progress springs, I didn't expect much from lowering the car only 1/2 inch, but I was wrong. The car corners like it's on rails and rides much smoother than the stock setup. I used the harbor freight strut spring compression tool for the fronts and a floor jack to push the rear mount into position. The biggest surprise to me was it didn't change my alignment.
I used these shocks with the Progress Tech springs for better handling and keeping a comfortable ride on the street. No way! The ride was very harsh. The shocks are not compatible with stock springs.
