Product Description

The Bilstein 24-029759 B6 Performance Front Shock is a direct-fit replacement engineered for the front suspension of Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 models produced from 1997 through 2013. Designed to work with the vehicle's original springs at stock ride height, this shock delivers improved steering precision, front-end stability, and overall handling control compared to aging or worn factory dampers. Its monotube gas-pressure design provides consistent damping performance across a broad range of road conditions while minimizing shock fade under load.

This front shock absorber enhances traction and confidence in daily driving and spirited use alike, without requiring suspension modifications. Installation uses factory mounting points on the front axle, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners restoring performance or replacing worn shocks on base Corvette models equipped with standard (non-electronic) suspension. Sold individually, shocks should be replaced in pairs to ensure balanced performance across the front axle.
