Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Strut Assembly 35-122203 | Porsche 987 Boxster / Cayman 2005-2012 Excludes PASM Lowered / Sport Suspension Only Sold Each
The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus front strut assembly, part number 35-122203, is the front strut for a 987 Boxster or Cayman that has already been lowered. A complete monotube gas-pressure strut with a shortened body, valved to control a lowered chassis properly.
For lowered or sport suspension only, and for cars without PASM. Fits the 987 Boxster and Cayman, 2005-2012. B8 Performance Plus is built specifically to pair with aftermarket lowering springs or factory sport suspension. The shortened body is what makes that work — and it is also why this is the wrong part for a stock-height car. If your car sits at factory ride height, buy the B6 Performance instead. If it has PASM, this part will not work — you need a DampTronic damper.
Sold individually. Two required per axle.
Key Benefits:
- Shortened monotube body matched to a lowered ride height
- Complete strut assembly — no housing rebuild required
- Firmer, application-specific valving for lowering springs and stiffer anti-roll bars
- Larger tube diameter takes higher side loads than a conventional damper
- Controls the reduced travel a lowered car actually has
- Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects
Compatible Vehicles:
- Porsche 987 Boxster 2005-2012
- Porsche 987 Cayman 2005-2012
Note: Front position. Complete strut assembly. Bilstein lists this part without PASM — it is not compatible with the electronically adjustable factory suspension. Requires lowering springs or factory sport suspension. Sold each — order two for a complete axle.
