Good Morning all,

I feel silly for asking. I have checked, and double checked and I just can’t not find out what, or why it is different.

Bilstein B12 pro part number: 46-000101

Vs

Bilstein B12 pro part number: 46-000132

What is the difference between these two? I’m pretty sure I’m set on swapping out the standard suspension for the B12 Pro kit but there are two different types.

Any help is massively appreciated.

Thank you.

No stupid questions but it has come up a few times on here if you search. The difference is down to the axle load which will be on your vin plate. You don't say what car you have but for most cars the 825kg load ones are the ones to go for. The 865kg are generally for the heavier cabs or tourings.
