The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volkswagen Polo 9N (2001–2009) running lowered suspension. Engineered to complement lowering springs, the B8 rear shock delivers improved rear axle control, reduced body movement, and enhanced overall handling, while maintaining daily-drive comfort.

Built with Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 ensures consistent damping performance and excellent heat dissipation under spirited driving conditions. The shortened internal design is optimised for lowered vehicles, maintaining correct suspension travel and preventing premature wear.

Finished with Bilstein’s Triple-C® corrosion-resistant coating, this rear shock absorber is built for durability and long service life. It installs as a direct OEM-fit replacement, making it the ideal match for the B8 front shock on lowered Polo 9N models.
