The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Passat B6 ‘R36’ (2005–2010) with lowered suspension and 55mm rear struts. Engineered to complement lowering springs, the B8 rear shock provides enhanced rear-end stability, improved body control, and consistent damping performance without compromising ride comfort.

Featuring Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 ensures rapid damping response, improved road feedback, and excellent vehicle control under dynamic driving conditions. The shortened piston rod maintains proper suspension travel on lowered vehicles, preventing bottoming out and preserving optimal ride dynamics.

Protected by Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this rear shock offers long-term durability and OEM-quality fitment. Designed specifically for non-EDC vehicles, it is a direct bolt-on upgrade for drivers seeking performance and stability with a lowered stance.
