Product Description

The Bilstein 35-348146 B8 Performance Plus Front Strut is engineered for Porsche 997-generation 911 models equipped without PASM electronic suspension. It is designed as a performance-oriented upgrade that works specifically with lowered ride heights and aftermarket lowering springs, delivering improved handling precision and stability.

Using Bilstein's monotube gas-pressure technology, this shortened strut design helps maintain proper suspension travel and damping control even in lowered configurations. The application-specific valving enhances steering response, cornering grip, and overall vehicle control, making it a popular upgrade for spirited street driving.

Built to OE-quality standards, the 35-348146 installs directly in the factory front suspension location and is compatible with both left and right sides. It is ideal for enthusiasts looking to improve handling performance while retaining factory-style fitment and reliability on the Porsche 997 chassis.
