Bilstein B8 Front Offside Uprated Damper for BMW F10 F11 F12 F13 F06 - Part 24-178518

Looking to tighten up your BMW chassis for fast-road confidence and precision steering feel? The Bilstein B8 front right unit, part number 24-178518, is a high-performance gas-pressurised monotube strut designed for cars running a lower ride height or factory sport chassis. Short-body construction keeps the spring under correct tension on lowered setups, giving crisp response, superb stability and a composed ride on British B-roads and motorways.

We run these on our own cars and customers love the transformation. Turn-in feels cleaner, mid-corner control is flatter and high-speed composure inspires trust without ruining day-to-day comfort. If you want a direct-fit OSF solution that works brilliantly with quality lowering springs or OE sport suspension, this B8 is the go-to upgrade.

Why this B8 upgrade stands out

• Optimised for lowered vehicles and sport packs, keeps the geometry tight and the ride height correct
• Monotube gas technology for consistent damping and dependable road feedback under hard use
• Shortened body for sharper responses, better control over bumps and reduced body movement
• Engineered as a direct replacement, no fabrication needed, uses BMW-specific mounts
• Excellent pairing with performance springs for a balanced fast-road setup
• Confident braking stability and traction over imperfect UK surfaces
