Product Description

The Bilstein 24-347853 B6 Performance Rear Shock Absorber is engineered for Porsche 996-generation 911 models and serves as a performance-oriented upgrade over the original equipment dampers. Designed to work with factory springs, the B6 delivers sharper handling, improved body control, and enhanced driving confidence without requiring suspension modifications.

Bilstein's monotube gas-pressure technology provides consistent damping performance and superior heat dissipation compared to conventional twin-tube designs. Application-specific valving helps improve stability during aggressive cornering, braking, and acceleration while maintaining excellent ride quality for daily driving and spirited road use.

Built to stringent OE-quality standards, the 24-347853 installs directly in the rear suspension location and is compatible with both left and right rear positions. It is an excellent choice for Porsche owners seeking improved handling performance while retaining factory ride height and suspension geometry.
