Shock Absorbers REAR
Bilstein Replacement for the Original Spec
Fits:
Porsche 986 Boxster 2.5L / 2.7L / S 3.2L 09/1996>>
B4 High Quality direct replacement shock absorbers constructed and finished to Bilstein's high standards often far and above what the car was originally supplied with. They can actually be a performance improvement if replacing plain, none gas charged, oil filled dampers. They dramatically reduce cavitation / oil foaming, thus give for more stable damping forces when driven 'spiritedly'. Some surprising cars come with plain oil filled dampers.
Key Features:
- Twin Tube Damper
- Gas pressurized
- OE damping forces

The shortened, high-performance shock absorber for lowered sports cars.
Lower doesn't automatically mean better. Not the appearance of the car determines its quality but the optimal tuning of suspension, springs and shock absorbers. With this in mind BILSTEIN has specially developed the B8 Sprint for cars with lowered bodies.
The shortened version represents the ideal pendant to suspension optimisation for nearly all sets of springs. Fast track changing at high speed, gobbling up uneven road surfaces, ironing out cross washboard surfaces ...The BILSTEIN B8 Sprint not only let's you look good but, above all, it gives you an excellent ride.

Porsche Rear Shock Absorber Parts | Design911 Suspension Components for Ride Stability, Comfort & Handling Control
Rear shock absorber parts play a vital role in maintaining your Porsche’s balance, ride comfort, and handling precision. These components support the rear suspension system, absorbing impacts and ensuring the vehicle remains stable under acceleration, braking, and cornering. From top mounts and bearings to bump stops, dust covers, and hardware, every component contributes to the consistent damping and ride quality that define Porsche performance.
At Design911, we supply a comprehensive range of rear shock absorber parts, precision-engineered for durability, alignment accuracy, and long-term reliability. Whether you’re carrying out routine maintenance, full suspension restoration, or performance upgrades, our parts help maintain perfect damping control and ensure your Porsche drives as smoothly and confidently as intended.
What Do Rear Shock Absorber Parts Do?
Rear shock absorber components ensure proper damper function and suspension support, allowing the rear axle to move fluidly while maintaining grip and control.
Core Functions:
• Support the rear shock absorber and maintain correct alignment.
• Absorb road vibrations for smoother ride comfort.
• Reduce body movement and improve handling balance.
• Protect suspension components from dirt and debris.
• Ensure stable damping under high-load or performance driving.
Together, these parts keep your Porsche’s rear suspension responsive, refined, and stable — essential for performance driving and everyday comfort alike.
Why Do Rear Shock Absorber Parts Fail or Degrade?
Over time, exposure to heat, vibration, and road conditions causes suspension components to wear and lose effectiveness.
Common Causes of Failure Include:
• Worn rubber or polyurethane bushings and mounts.
• Corroded bolts or degraded hardware.
• Cracked dust covers allowing contamination into the damper.
• Damaged bearings or perished top mounts.
• Fatigue from prolonged exposure to road stress or track use.
Failure of these components can cause rear-end instability, clunking noises, poor ride comfort, and uneven handling — all clear signs replacement is needed.
Why Replace or Upgrade Your Porsche Rear Shock Absorber Parts?
Replacing worn or damaged rear shock absorber parts restores suspension geometry, damping efficiency, and comfort. Upgraded performance components improve ride stability, response, and long-term reliability.
Key Benefits:
• Restores smooth ride and consistent damping.
• Improves handling precision and rear suspension balance.
• Reduces noise, vibration, and harshness.
• Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials.
