Product Description

The Bilstein 24-265720 is a front right B8 Performance Plus shock absorber designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz CLS (C257) and E-Class Coupe (C238) platforms equipped with aftermarket lowering springs. Unlike standard OE replacement dampers, the B8 Performance Plus features shortened body dimensions and revised internal valve calibration that work in harmony with lowering springs to deliver precise, responsive handling without sacrificing ride comfort. The monotube gas-pressure construction ensures the damping fluid remains free from foaming, delivering consistent performance lap after lap or mile after mile.

Installation is a direct OE-style fit requiring no fabrication or special adapters - factory mounting hardware is reused. For a complete front axle upgrade, this shock should always be installed as a pair alongside the matching front left unit (Bilstein 24-265713). Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a sportier, lower stance with improved cornering feedback and body control on both daily roads and spirited driving routes.
