The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Passat B7 ‘R36’ (2010–2014) equipped with lowered suspension and non-EDC configuration. Engineered to work in harmony with lowering springs, the B8 rear shock delivers improved rear stability, enhanced body control, and consistent damping performance while maintaining everyday ride comfort.

Utilising Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 ensures fast damping response and excellent control during spirited driving. 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 rear shock absorber offers long-term durability and OEM-quality fitment. Designed exclusively for vehicles without Electronic Damping Control (EDC), it installs directly as a bolt-on upgrade.
