Product Description

The Bilstein 22-046239 is a high-performance front strut from the B8 Performance Plus line, engineered specifically for lowered or sport-oriented Porsche Boxster (986) models. With its gas-pressure twin-tube construction and shortened piston rod, this strut delivers sharper handling and more precise control while maintaining a comfortable ride.

It comes with a fixed spring seat - making it a true drop-in solution for use with aftermarket lowering springs without the need to reuse your OEM perch. The stem top mount ensures secure, fast installation, while the yellow-coated body adds a distinctive look and protects against corrosion.

Built to Bilstein's high standards, this strut offers long-lasting durability and performance. It's ideal for enthusiasts who want better turn-in, reduced body roll, and a sportier feel - especially when combined with lowering springs. Plus, it's covered by Bilstein's limited lifetime warranty for peace of mind.
