Product Description

The Bilstein 24-001182 B8 Performance Plus rear shock is a premium monotube gas pressure damper engineered for classic BMW 02 Series vehicles, including the 1600, 1602, 1802, and 2002 variants produced from the mid-1960s through the late 1970s. Designed as a direct replacement for worn rear shocks, this performance-oriented unit delivers improved handling response, enhanced stability, and a sporty feel compared to standard OEM dampers, especially when paired with aftermarket lowering springs.

Featuring sport-tuned valving and a durable protective finish, the B8 Performance Plus shock helps control body motion and maintain tire contact over uneven roads while preserving ride comfort. Its direct-fit design allows straightforward installation on rear independent suspension setups without modifications. Sold individually, this shock suits either the driver or passenger side of compatible classic BMW vehicles, making it a great choice for restoration, performance upgrades, or daily driving enhancements.
