Product Description

The Bilstein 24-004930 B6 Performance rear shock absorber is engineered as a direct, high-quality replacement for vintage Chevrolet Corvette models from 1953 through 1962. Built with a monotube gas pressure design and application-specific valving, this shock delivers improved damping consistency, better handling, and enhanced ride control compared to standard OEM shocks while maintaining the vehicle's stock ride height.

This performance shock pairs with your Corvette's original rear springs and installs directly into the factory suspension mounts without modifications. The durable corrosion-resistant finish and protective boot help extend service life, making it a great choice for classic driving, restoration, or spirited vintage use. Sold individually, one unit is supplied per order - two are typically needed for a complete rear suspension refresh.
