The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Shock Absorber is specifically engineered for the Volkswagen Passat B7 ‘R36’ (2010–2014) fitted with lowered suspension and 55mm front struts. Designed to work in conjunction with lowering springs, the B8 delivers improved handling precision, sharper steering response, and excellent body control while maintaining ride comfort.

Utilising Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 front shock provides rapid damping response and consistent performance under spirited driving conditions. The shortened piston rod ensures correct suspension travel on lowered vehicles, preventing bottoming out and preserving optimal ride dynamics.

Protected by Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this shock absorber offers long-term durability and OEM-quality fitment. Designed exclusively for non-EDC vehicles, it installs directly as a bolt-on upgrade for enhanced performance and stability.
