Bilstein B14 installation, anything other than the suspension kit?

Hello,

Iīve just ordered a Bilsten B14 for my M240i RWD passive suspension.

I will install it at a workshop, but I wonder if anything else should be supplied with the suspension coilover for the installation (I meant, bolts, nuts, etc.)

In the newtis replacement instructions they claim to replace almost any bolt/nut, but I donīt know if it is really necessary.

Someone that installed a B12/B14/B16 could help here?

Thanks in advance.

You're supposed to replace the nuts and bolts because they are stretch bolts and one time use. I recommend replacing them for peace of mind.

That being said, many choose not to replace them out of convenience. If you choose not to replace them, do not follow the torque to yield instructions.
