Product Description

The Bilstein 24-025997 B8 Performance Plus is a performance-tier front shock built specifically to pair with aftermarket lowering springs on the CLK320, CLK430, and CLK55 AMG. Its monotube gas pressure construction and application-specific valve tuning are designed to bring out sharper handling and control than a stock or basic replacement damper, while the larger-diameter shock tube adds capacity for the increased side loads that come with a lowered, sportier setup.

Road-tested and fine-tuned by Bilstein for this platform, it delivers a sport-oriented ride that still retains a meaningful level of comfort rather than a harsh track-only feel. Sold individually for the front, it's intended for owners running lowering springs or other suspension upgrades rather than stock-height CLK-Class cars.
