Bilstein Sport B6 rear shock absorbers and top mounts kit – Porsche 996 C2 1997–2005 *BE5-2993  ❭  24-347853KIT

Bilstein Sport B6 rear shock absorbers and top mounts kit by Bilstein for Porsche 996 C2 models from 1997–2005. This rear suspension package is intended for cars using standard springs and is listed for models without sports suspension.

What This Product Does The kit renews the rear dampers and upper mounting points. Bilstein B6 dampers use gas-pressure technology and application-specific valving, with the B6 line commonly selected for standard ride height road applications.

Functions

• Replaces rear shock absorbers and top mounts together.
• Supports matched damping across the rear axle.
• Works with suitable standard springs where the application allows.
• Helps address worn, leaking or corroded rear dampers.
• Avoids pairing renewed dampers with aged upper mounts.

Symptoms of Fault

• Floaty or unsettled ride after bumps.
• Poor rebound control or excess body movement.
• Increased roll or pitch compared with normal behaviour.
• Uneven tyre wear or tyre cupping.
• Rear suspension knocking, which may also come from mounts, bushes or links.
• Visible damper leakage, corrosion or damage.

Why Replacement Matters Rear dampers and top mounts wear with age and mileage. Replacing them as a rear kit can help restore consistent suspension operation and reduce the likelihood of noise from old mounting parts. After suspension work, wheel alignment should be checked.

Fits

• Porsche 996 (911) (1997–2005)
• Porsche 996 C2 3.4L (1997–08/01)
• Porsche 996 C2 3.6L (09/01–2005)

Check fitment for your specific vehicle, including model, year, engine and suspension specification, before ordering.

FAQs

• Can B6 dampers be used with standard springs? Often yes, depending on the specific application. This listing is for standard spring applications without sports suspension.
• B6 or B8? B6 is generally used with standard springs, while B8 is commonly selected for lowered springs.
• Is alignment needed after fitting? Yes, alignment should be checked after suspension work.
• Should mounts be renewed at the same time? Renewing mounts with dampers is a sensible approach where mounts are worn or aged.
