Abarth 500 / 595 / 695 Bilstein B12 & H&R Lowering Spring Kit

Transform your Abarth’s handling without sacrificing daily usability. The Bilstein B12 H&R Kit pairs Bilstein’s renowned inverted mono-tube dampers with progressive H&R lowering springs — engineered specifically for the Abarth 500, 595, and 695 platform. The result is a sharper, more planted driving experience that feels at home on both B-roads and track days, with a fixed lowering setup that requires no ongoing adjustment.
