The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Golf Mk7 GTI, GTI Clubsport, and GTI TCR (2012–2021) equipped with a multilink rear axle and running standard or lowered suspension.

Optimized to work with lowering springs, the B8 rear shock features a shortened piston rod and performance-focused valving to maintain correct suspension travel, improved rear-end stability, and enhanced cornering control compared to factory dampers.

Manufactured using Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 ensures consistent damping performance, excellent heat dissipation, and long-term reliability under spirited road use. This rear damper is an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking sharper handling without moving to a full coilover setup.

Protected by Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, the B8 Performance Plus rear shock is built to withstand harsh environments and daily driving conditions.
