The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Passat B8 ‘R36’ equipped with a multilink rear axle and standard or lowered suspension. Engineered for non-EDC vehicles, the B8 rear shock delivers improved rear stability, tighter body control, and balanced ride quality, making it ideal for both daily driving and spirited use.

Featuring Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 provides fast damping response and consistent performance under varying road conditions. The shortened piston rod is optimised for lowered setups, ensuring correct suspension travel and preventing bottoming out while maintaining comfort and control.

Protected by Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this rear shock is built for durability and long service life. It installs as a direct OEM-fit replacement and pairs perfectly with the B8 front shock for a complete Performance Plus setup.
