Product Description

The Bilstein 24-145985 B8 Performance Plus front strut delivers the aggressive handling characteristics demanded by performance-minded Audi enthusiasts running lowered suspensions. Engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with aftermarket lowering springs, this 46mm monotube strut features application-specific valving tuned to maximize the handling potential of B8 and C7 platform Audis including A4, A5, S4, S5, RS5, Q5, SQ5, A6, and A7 models. Bilstein's legendary monotube gas pressure technology keeps the damping oil under constant pressure, preventing foaming and ensuring consistent performance even during aggressive driving or track sessions. The self-adjusting design instantaneously responds to changing road surfaces, delivering sharper turn-in response, reduced body roll, and improved stability through corners. As an OEM shock absorber supplier to Audi, Bilstein brings factory-level fit and finish to this performance upgrade. The B8 Performance Plus series significantly increases suspension rigidity compared to stock dampers, making it the ideal choice for drivers prioritizing handling performance over ride comfort. Pair with upgraded sway bars and quality lowering springs for a complete suspension transformation. Sold individually with 2 required for the front axle. Backed by Bilstein's lifetime limited warranty.
