Performance

B6 Sport is the sport-tuned damper for standard ride height, sold under Bilstein's earlier B6 naming. Firmer rebound control than the OE part means less float over crests and tighter body movement through quick direction changes, while ride height and spring rates stay untouched. Suited to spirited road driving on a car you do not want to lower. This unit is an upside-down monotube: the larger-diameter body is at the top, reducing unsprung weight and stiffening the strut against bending loads.

What's Included

One Bilstein B6 Sport damper unit for the front axle (either side) — a single shock absorber, not a pair and not an axle set. Order two to do an axle, four for the whole car. Mounting is top pin. Bump stops, dust covers, top mounts and fixings are not included.

Warranty

Backed by Bilstein's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Cover assumes correct installation, the correct tightening torques, and serviceable bump stops and dust covers. A damper run without its protection parts will be scored by road grit — that is wear, not a defect.
