The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Polo 6R (2009–2017) fitted with 55mm front struts and lowered suspension. Engineered specifically to work with lowering springs, the B8 delivers enhanced steering response, reduced body roll, and improved front-end control while retaining everyday comfort.

Using Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 ensures consistent damping performance and excellent heat dissipation under demanding driving conditions. The shortened piston rod is optimised for lowered vehicles, maintaining correct suspension travel and preventing bottoming out.

Finished with Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this front shock absorber offers long-term durability and reliability. It installs as a direct bolt-on replacement, making it the ideal performance upgrade for lowered Polo 6R models.
