Description
Upgrade your rear suspension with the Bilstein B8 Rear Shock Absorber, specifically designed for the BMW M5 E39 (1998–2004) with rear-wheel drive. Engineered to complement lowered setups or factory sport suspensions, this B8 damper delivers unmatched performance and control.
Featuring Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology, the B8 rear shock offers precise damping, superior road feel, and enhanced cornering stability. Its shortened design makes it ideal for use with lowering springs or sport suspension systems, including the factory M-Sport configuration found on the M5.
