The Bilstein B8 Rear Shock Absorber is designed for the Volvo S40 Gen 2 (2004–2012) and is suitable for vehicles with standard or lowered suspension.

Developed as a performance damper, the B8 is optimised for use with shorter or sport springs, delivering improved rear stability, reduced body movement, and better overall balance during spirited driving.

Built with Bilstein’s monotube high-pressure gas technology, the B8 provides consistent damping performance, fast response, and excellent heat dissipation, ensuring stable handling and confidence-inspiring control.

Finished with a corrosion-resistant coating, this rear shock is engineered for durability and installs as a direct bolt-on replacement with no modifications required.
