| One of the most visceral experiences about owning a BMW, be it a 2002 all the way up to a Z8, is its handling. Why else do they call it the ultimate driving experience? Here at Pelican we can provide you with the components you may need to restore or enhance your cars handling.

Shocks and Struts  |
| Bilstein Struts and Shocks |
| Bilstein struts are the recommended choice by Pelican Parts, and are what Tom and Wayne use personally in their cars. The Bilsteins are a great performance shock absorber, and will give you a tighter feel over the stock units. An all-around durable shock, the Bilstein shock absorbers should last the life of your BMW. The sport Bilsteins give a bit of a stiffer ride, and are best matched with stiffer springs and a lowered suspension. |

Shock/Strut Absorber Mounting Hardware |
| Is your strut housing or shock mount broken from driving around on blown shocks? If so, we can provide you with a new piece, to bring your BMW's handling back to perfection. Often times a loud clunking sound from the wheels will indicate a bad shock mount. Note: for those of you who have upgraded to stiffer rear shocks and springs, we recommend you use 33-52-1-132-104 in place of the regular mounts (33-52-1-128-819), as they are a stiffer mount designed to handle the extra weight of convertible models and are a direct bolt-in replacement. Adding these mounts will help transmit more rebounding energy from stiff shocks than the stock mounts. |
