Product Description

The Bilstein 24-015387 B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber is a high-quality performance replacement shock designed for classic Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles from the early through late 1990s. It fits the rear suspension of a range of models including 300SD, 300SE, 400SE, 500SEL, 500SEC, and later S-Class variants such as S320, S350, S420, and S500 where a sportier handling experience is desired. This performance-oriented shock uses a gas-pressurized monotube design to deliver consistent damping performance compared to standard factory units, especially when used with sport or lowering springs.

Engineered for improved handling and control, the B8 Performance Plus rear shock enhances stability, cornering precision, and road feel without sacrificing ride comfort. Its direct-fit design makes installation straightforward using existing mounting points on the W140 sedan and C140 coupe chassis. Built with Bilstein's durable construction and tuned valving, this shock is an excellent choice for drivers seeking a balance of performance and everyday drivability.
