NOTE: This shock absorber is not compatible with 996 GT2 models, or models equipped with the X73 or X74 suspension package. 

Porsche 996 911 Carrera Rear Shock Absorber Kit  Fits cars WITHOUT M030 sports suspension.

Restore the precise ride quality and confident handling your Porsche 996 911 Carrera was built to deliver. Over time, shocks gradually wear down, making changes in handling and comfort hard to notice until performance begins to fade. This complete shock absorber kit includes nearly everything you need to replace your worn components—shock mounts, bump stops, dust boots, and all necessary hardware. 

With fresh shocks installed, you can expect:

Sharper, more responsive handling Improved ride comfort and stability Reduced braking distances More even tire wear

Note: Coil springs are not included and can be purchased separately if needed. The original washers and spacers can typically be reused unless they show signs of damage upon inspection.

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
