Product Description

The Bilstein 34-000250 B8 Performance Plus front shock/strut cartridge is engineered as a direct performance upgrade for classic BMW 02 Series vehicles, including 1600-series, 2000tii, and 2002 models from 1966 through 1976. Its monotube gas-charged design and performance-tuned valving deliver improved handling precision, sharper response, and better road feel compared to stock dampers. The B8 Performance Plus cartridge is ideal for drivers who want enhanced steering control and stability - especially when paired with lowering springs or a sport suspension setup - while still retaining a comfortable everyday ride.

Designed to fit directly into the factory front strut housings, this shock insert upgrades damping performance without requiring major suspension changes. The included protective blue bellows boot helps safeguard components from debris, and the high-quality finish contributes to long-lasting performance. Whether you're restoring a classic BMW 2002 or building a performance-oriented vintage ride, the 34-000250 B8 Performance Plus shock delivers reliable, tuned dampening for improved driving confidence and control.
