Product Description

The Bilstein 24-249607 B8 Performance Plus Front Shock is a high-quality performance upgrade engineered for compact sports cars that have been lowered or fitted with sport suspension. Featuring a monotube gas-pressurized design and tailored application-specific valving, this front shock enhances handling precision, improves cornering response, and delivers a more engaging driving experience compared to standard OE dampers. It is optimized to work with aftermarket lowering springs, providing consistent damping performance and sharper control while preserving everyday comfort.

Fitment is confirmed for Mazda MX-5 Miata models from 2016 through 2024 and Fiat 124 Spider models from 2017 through 2020 across multiple trims and engine configurations. This shock installs directly into the front suspension using factory mount points with no modifications required. Coverage through the 2024 (Miata) and 2020 (124 Spider) model years is verified; fitment beyond these model years is unconfirmed at the time of listing.
