Description
Take your lowered BMW E46 RWD (1997–2006) to the next level with the Bilstein B8 Front Right Shock Absorber—precision-engineered for high-performance control on vehicles equipped with lowering springs or factory sport suspension.
Unlike standard dampers, the B8 features a shortened piston rod that works perfectly with shorter springs, maintaining full suspension travel and eliminating premature wear. Combined with Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the result is a responsive, planted ride with greatly enhanced stability, control, and driver feedback.
Whether you’re carving corners or enjoying the daily commute, the B8 delivers the performance feel of a track-ready suspension—while preserving everyday comfort and reliability.
