The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Shock Absorber is specifically engineered for the Volkswagen Passat B6 ‘R36’ (2005–2010) equipped with lowered suspension and 55mm front struts. Designed to complement lowering springs, the B8 provides enhanced handling, sharper steering response, and excellent ride control while maintaining a sporty stance.

Featuring Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, this front shock delivers rapid damping response, improved cornering stability, and consistent performance under dynamic driving conditions. The shortened piston rod ensures proper suspension travel on lowered vehicles, preventing bottoming out and maintaining optimal ride dynamics.

Finished with Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this shock ensures long-term durability and OEM-quality fitment. Designed specifically for non-EDC vehicles, the B8 is a direct bolt-on solution for drivers seeking performance improvements with a lowered stance.
