Product Description

The Bilstein 24-196550 B8 Performance Plus rear shock absorber is engineered for enhanced handling and stability on sport-tuned or aftermarket lowered suspensions for compact cars like the Ford Focus, Mazda 3, and select Volvo models. As part of Bilstein's high-performance B8 line, this shock delivers application-specific damping tuned to work with lowered spring setups to maintain proper suspension geometry and deliver sharper cornering and control without sacrificing comfort.

Featuring a high-pressure monotube gas design and application-specific valving, the 24-196550 provides consistent, fade-free performance and improved traction during dynamic driving. Its direct-fit design allows for straightforward installation using existing hardware, making this shock an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking sportier handling and improved road feel. Sold individually, two shocks are typically required for a complete rear suspension upgrade.
