Bilstein B8 Rear Damper for BMW 5 Series E60 – High Performance Rear Shock Upgrade
Transform the way your BMW 5 Series E60 drives with the Bilstein B8 Rear Damper. This performance rear shock absorber is purpose built for cars running aftermarket lowering springs, delivering sharper handling, superior body control and outstanding stability without sacrificing everyday usability. If you are lowering your E60 and want a direct fit OE upgrade that tightens up response and boosts confidence on fast road or spirited driving, the Bilstein B8 is the go to performance damper.
Why choose Bilstein B8 for your BMW E60
- Monotube gas pressure technology for consistent, fade resistant performance.
- Shortened stroke design engineered to work perfectly with lowering springs.
- Application specific valving optimised for the BMW 5 Series E60 chassis.
- Crisper turn in, reduced squat and dive, improved high speed stability.
- Direct fit OE replacement upgrade with world famous Bilstein quality.
- Sold individually as one rear damper each for the rear axle.
Compared with standard replacement shocks, the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus rear damper is tuned specifically for lowered ride heights, keeping the suspension operating in its ideal range. The result is better control over rough surfaces, more precise steering and a sportier, more planted feel. For the best balance and safety, we recommend replacing rear dampers in pairs.
