Bilstein 34-002339 B6 Performance Front Shock Absorber for BMW E24 and E28
Upgrade your classic BMW with the legendary Bilstein B6 Performance front shock absorber. The Bilstein 34-002339 is the go-to OE replacement upgrade for BMW E24 6 Series and BMW E28 5 Series owners who want sharper handling, better control and everyday comfort without compromising reliability. This gas-pressure monotube damper is the yellow Bilstein B6, engineered for fast road performance and confidence in every corner.
At Nforcd we have fitted and used Bilstein B6 on customer cars and our own builds. Feedback is consistently excellent. Expect tighter steering response, improved stability under braking, reduced roll and a more planted front end on both B-roads and motorway cruising. It is a direct-fit suspension strut insert for the front axle, designed to work perfectly with standard springs, making it the ideal performance upgrade over tired OE shocks.
