Product Description

The Bilstein 24-065504 B8 Performance Plus Front Shock is a direct-fit performance replacement engineered for the front suspension of Mazda Miata NB models produced from 1999 through 2005. Designed with monotube gas-pressure technology and application-specific valving, this front shock enhances handling precision and road control, especially when paired with sport or lowered suspension setups. The B8 Performance Plus series is intended to deliver sharper response and improved dynamics over standard OE dampers while maintaining ride comfort.

This front shock installs easily using factory mounting points and works with both stock and aftermarket suspension configurations tailored for performance driving. Its durable construction, tuned damping, and direct OE-style fit make it an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts looking to improve front-end stability, cornering response, and overall ride feel on Mazda Miata NB vehicles. Sold individually, it's recommended to replace shocks in matched pairs on the front axle for balanced suspension performance and safety.
