Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Right Shock Absorber — BMW E36 | Part No. 35-044055
Upgrade your BMW E36 suspension with the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Right Shock Absorber (part number BILSTEIN-35-044055 / 35-044055). This is the go-to uprated front right damper for lowered cars running sport springs and performance suspension. Engineered by Bilstein with gas pressure technology and an upside-down monotube strut design, the B8 delivers precise handling, sharper steering response and the confidence you want from a performance shock absorber on the front axle right side.
The Bilstein B8 is a shortened high-performance shock designed specifically to work with lowering springs, maintaining the correct spring preload and support. If you’re building a fast-road BMW E36 or want a direct-fit performance strut for a Z3 M, the B8 Performance Plus is a proven choice. We run these on our own builds and our customers consistently rate the control and composure as outstanding.
Compatible BMW models include: Z3 Roadster (E36) M 3.2 and Z3 Coupe (E36) M 3.2 / M.
