Is the BILSTEIN B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench sold as a pair?

No. The B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench is sold individually, as one hook-plug wrench. Adjusting a spring seat against its lock ring is easiest with two wrenches, one to hold and one to turn, so many owners order two when setting ride height at home.

Which BILSTEIN kits use this wrench?

BILSTEIN names spanner wrench set E4-XS1-Z001A00 in the specification of many of its threaded kits, including B14, B16 and EVO coilovers. Each BILSTEIN coilover listing at Bulletproof Automotive says when BILSTEIN specifies this wrench for that kit, so check the Notes of the kit in question.

Is the B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench included with a coilover kit?

BILSTEIN does not state whether a wrench is supplied with each kit, so Bulletproof Automotive lists it separately. Buying the wrench means ride height and preload can be adjusted at any time after installation, without borrowing a tool or visiting a shop.

Why use the BILSTEIN wrench instead of a generic one?

The hook plug on the B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench is sized for the slots in BILSTEIN spring seats and lock rings. A wrong-size wrench or a punch and hammer can slip, damage the zinc coating on the threaded body and invite corrosion, which BILSTEIN avoids with the correct tool.

What warranty comes with the wrench?

BILSTEIN covers its B1 component parts, including this wrench, with its Limited 90-Day Warranty. The wrench is made in Germany, and Bulletproof Automotive handles any claim with BILSTEIN for the owner, so the tool is supported by the place it was bought.

Description

BILSTEIN B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench, Hook Plug

BILSTEIN’s B1 Coilover Spanner Wrench is the hook-plug wrench BILSTEIN specifies for adjusting the spring seats and lock rings on its threaded coilover kits, from B14 and B16 to the EVO range. Ride height and spring preload on a BILSTEIN coilover are set by turning those rings on the damper body, and this is the tool shaped to do it without marking the zinc coating. It is a small part, and it is the difference between a quick height change in the garage and a trip to a shop.

Design and Performance

A threaded coilover is adjusted by turning a slotted spring seat and locking it with a second ring. The B1 wrench hooks into those slots, giving enough turning force to break the lock ring free and to wind the seat up or down the body. Many BILSTEIN coilover listings at Bulletproof Automotive name this wrench in their Notes, which is the easiest way to confirm it suits a given kit.

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.
