Bilstein B8 Front Nearside Damper for BMW 3 Series E36 - Part 22-247360

Give your E36 front suspension the sharp, confident feel it deserves with the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus front nearside unit, part number 22-247360. Purpose built for cars running a reduced ride height, this gas-charged twin-tube strut is the ideal partner for quality lowering springs on 3 Series E36 models including 320i, 325i and 325td between 1990 and 1999. Expect a tighter front end, crisp turn-in and composed body control on British roads without ruining daily comfort.

As a direct bolt-on replacement for the passenger side front position, this B8 short-stroke damper restores proper spring preload on lowered cars and keeps the chassis settled over bumps and through fast direction changes. We have fitted these on countless customer builds at MJ Modifications, and the feedback is consistently glowing for precision, stability and road feel.
