Product Description

The Bilstein 24-020282 B6 Performance Rear Shock Absorber is an application-specific suspension component engineered for classic BMW 3 Series models - including E30 sedans, coupes, convertibles, touring cars, and E36 Compact variants. Built with a gas-pressurized monotube design and calibrated valving, this shock provides more consistent damping and improved handling compared to many original equipment rear shocks. Its direct-fit design pairs with factory springs for enhanced stability, traction, and control in daily driving or enthusiast use.

As part of Bilstein's B6 Performance lineup, this rear shock is tuned for a sportier feel without sacrificing ride comfort. The rugged construction and corrosion-resistant finish help extend component life, while the optimized valving enhances response through corners and over uneven surfaces. Sold individually, replacing shocks in pairs on the rear axle is recommended for balanced ride quality and performance.
