Product Description

The Bilstein 24-029773 B8 Performance Plus Front Shock is a high-quality monotube gas-pressure shock absorber engineered for the front suspension of Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 models built between 1997 and 2013 with standard (non-electronic) suspension. Designed to be a direct OE-style replacement, this front shock enhances steering response, high-speed stability, and overall handling control compared to aging or worn factory shocks while maintaining ride characteristics suitable for both daily driving and spirited use.

Featuring application-specific valving and rugged construction, the B8 Performance Plus shock is ideal for drivers seeking improved road feel and suspension control, whether retaining stock ride height or pairing with aftermarket lowering springs. Sold individually, each unit installs easily using factory mounting points, making this front shock a dependable upgrade for Corvette owners aiming to restore front end composure and confidence through corners and highway driving.
