Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber 24-029940 | Porsche 996 1999-2005 Lowered / Sport Suspension Only Sold Each
Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Rear Shock Absorber 24-029940 | Porsche 996 1999-2005 Lowered / Sport Suspension Only Sold Each
The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus rear shock absorber, part number 24-029940, is the rear damper for a 996 that has already been lowered. A monotube gas-pressure damper with a shortened body, valved to control a lowered chassis properly.
For lowered or sport suspension only. 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. On factory springs a B8 runs out of travel, rides harshly and wears out early. If your 996 sits at factory ride height, buy the B6 Performance instead.
Sold individually. Two required per axle.
Key Benefits:
- Shortened monotube body matched to a lowered ride height
- 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
- Monotube gas-pressure design — no fade, no aeration
- Limited Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer defects
Compatible Vehicles:
- Porsche 996 1999-2005
Note: Rear position. Requires lowering springs or factory sport suspension — do not fit to a stock-height car. Sold each — order two for a complete axle. Confirm part number 24-029940 against your car before ordering.
