Product Description

The Bilstein 19-215990 is a B4 OE Replacement rear spring-bearing shock absorber for second-generation MINI Cooper, Cooper S, Cooper D, Cooper SD, One, and John Cooper Works models across the R56 Hardtop, R55 Clubman, R57 Convertible, R58 Coupe, and R59 Roadster body styles - all with standard (non-Sport) chassis suspension. The B4 is Bilstein's direct OE replacement line, developed to restore factory ride character rather than alter it. For R55-R59 owners experiencing increased body bounce, degraded rear traction, or reduced ride quality from worn factory rear shocks, the 19-215990 returns damping performance to factory specification with a direct bolt-in installation.

As a spring-bearing unit, the shock body includes a fixed spring seat that accepts the factory rear coil spring directly - matching the OE assembly exactly. Twintube gas pressure construction delivers consistent damping with application-specific valving tuned for the R55-R59 rear suspension geometry and standard chassis spring rates. This is the standard suspension specification; MINI models equipped with the Sport Suspension package require a different application. Sold individually - order two for a complete rear axle replacement. Backed by Bilstein's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
