Product Information
30mm, B8 series monotube strut insert
If your BMW's suspension is feeling bouncy and doesn't provide confident performance over the road it is probably time for new shocks and struts. For performance enthusiasts, Bilstein has always been a go to name. Bilstein B8 Sport shocks and struts deliver absolute mastery of the road surface for the performance-minded driver. Designed to push a car's suspension to its performance peak, these shocks are specifically suited for use with special lowering springs in combination with anti-sway bars or other suspension upgrades.
WARNING: Proposition 65 informationA suspension strut cartridge is the internal shock-absorbing component housed within a strut assembly. It controls suspension movement by dampening the up-and-down motion of the springs, ensuring stability, comfort, and proper tire contact with the road. In some vehicles, the cartridge can be replaced separately without changing the entire strut housing.
Suspension Strut Cartridge Failure Symptoms- Excessive bouncing or poor ride comfort, as the cartridge can no longer dampen spring movement effectively.
- Nose-diving or body roll, especially during braking or cornering, due to weakened damping control.
- Fluid leaks or clunking noises, indicating internal seal failure or worn-out cartridge components.
About Bilstein B8 Performance Plus
Bilstein shocks and strut perform due to their larger piston area and quality manufacturing. Bilstein shocks eliminate dead spots, and deliver extremely responsive valving for superior performance and handling, including consistent, fade-free damping and shorter braking distance. Made only from the highest quality materials, Bilstein shocks reduced valve fatigue means they last much longer than standard stock replacement components. If you’re looking for a performance lowering shock absorber or strut, the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus is up to the task. Designed to enhance your car’s lowered suspension, Bilstein’s monotube gas pressure technology delivers a sporty ride with remarkable comfort. This class shock is considered by us at FCP as performance upgrade to any shock and is ideal for vehicles with a lowered stance.
