Does the BILSTEIN B12 Pro-Kit for 991 Carrera work with PASM?

No. BILSTEIN lists this kit for 991.1 Carrera models built without Porsche Active Suspension Management. A Carrera with PASM needs B12 Pro-Kit 46-258885, which BILSTEIN lists for those cars from 2012 to 2019, and the Carrera 4 without PASM takes B12 Pro-Kit 46-258892.

How much lower will a 991 Carrera sit?

BILSTEIN quotes 20mm to 25mm of lowering at the front and 15mm at the rear. The B12 Pro-Kit for 991 Carrera models sets that height with the Eibach springs, so it cannot be raised or lowered further once installed, which keeps the car close to its factory travel.

Is the B12 Pro-Kit a coilover kit?

No. The B12 Pro-Kit is a matched set of BILSTEIN dampers and Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs with a fixed ride height. A coilover kit such as BILSTEIN B16 adds threaded bodies for height adjustment and a damping adjuster, at a higher price and with more setting up.

Why replace the dampers when fitting lowering springs?

Factory dampers are valved for the factory springs. Shorter, firmer lowering springs on stock dampers can leave the car underdamped and shorten damper life. BILSTEIN tunes the B12 dampers for the Eibach springs in the kit, so both are matched to the lower ride height.

What warranty comes with the kit?

BILSTEIN covers the B12 Pro-Kit with its Limited Lifetime Warranty, and the kit is made in Germany. Bulletproof Automotive handles any warranty claim with BILSTEIN for the owner, so there is a single point of contact if anything needs attention.

Description

BILSTEIN B12 Pro-Kit for 991 Porsche 911 Carrera without PASM

BILSTEIN’s B12 Pro-Kit for 991 Porsche 911 Carrera without PASM pairs BILSTEIN performance dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit springs to settle the 991.1 Carrera 20mm to 25mm lower at the nose and 15mm lower at the tail. It is a fixed-height kit: no threaded bodies, no adjusters, just a matched set of dampers and springs that BILSTEIN tunes together for this car. Porsche has fitted BILSTEIN dampers as original equipment for decades, and this kit keeps that factory sensibility while closing the wheel gap that makes a stock 991 look taller than it should. For a Carrera that is driven far more on the road than on a track, it is a cleaner answer than a full coilover kit, and it costs far less to own.

Design and Performance

The kit replaces all four dampers and springs. BILSTEIN’s yellow performance dampers carry a valving tune made for the lower, stiffer Eibach springs, so the car is not left riding on factory damping that was set for a taller spring. The drop is moderate by design, which keeps bump travel and keeps the front splitter clear of most driveways and speed humps.

About BILSTEIN

BILSTEIN was founded in 1873 by August Bilstein in Altenvoerde, now Ennepetal, Germany, where its engineers are still based. In 1957 it fitted the first monotube gas pressure shock absorber to a Mercedes-Benz series production car, and Audi, BMW, Porsche and Volkswagen are among the carmakers that have used its dampers as original equipment since. BILSTEIN develops its suspension on its own test circuit in Papenburg and on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and it has been part of thyssenkrupp since 2005.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
