Product Description

The Bilstein 24-011778 B8 Performance Plus front shock absorber is an upgraded suspension component designed specifically for 1989-1994 Chevrolet Corvette models equipped with the Z51 performance package and 17" wheels, including the 1993 40th Anniversary Edition. Built with a monotube gas pressure design and performance-tuned valving, this shock delivers a sportier feel with improved damping response over standard OE shocks - especially when paired with aftermarket lowering springs or performance suspension setups.

The durable construction and protective boot help ensure long service life, making the 24-011778 a solid choice for drivers who want enhanced suspension performance for spirited driving or lowered stance applications.
