Bilstein B6 Performance Front Strut Cartridge 28-188629 | Porsche 911 / 911SC / 912 / 912E / 930 1965-1989 Sold Each
Sharpen the front end of your air-cooled Porsche with the Bilstein B6 Performance front strut cartridge, part number 28-188629. A 36mm monotube gas-pressure insert that transforms turn-in and control without lowering the car or requiring new springs.
This is an insert-type cartridge, not a complete strut — it drops into the factory front strut housing. Coverage spans the long-hood 911 and 912 through the 911SC and the early 930. Application-specific valving and monotube construction eliminate the aeration and fade that soften twin-tube dampers on a hard drive, giving consistent control cold or hot.
Sold individually. Two required per axle.
Key Benefits:
- 36mm monotube gas-pressure design — no fade, no aeration
- Application-specific valving developed for the air-cooled 911 front strut
- Optimum grip and lane stability in everyday and extreme driving
- Works with factory torsion bars — no spring change required
- Retains factory ride height — B6 is the stock-height damper
- Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects
