Bilstein B8 Front Damper Insert - Part No. 34-276433 - BMW 02 Series E10 and E6 Touring

Transform the way your classic BMW steers and grips with this Bilstein B8 front strut cartridge. Part number 34-276433 suits the BMW 1502, 1602, 1802, 2002, 2002 Ti, 2002 Tii and 2002 Turbo across E10 saloon and cabriolet plus E6 Touring models. Designed as a short-stroke, uprated gas-charged monotube insert for the front axle, it is the ideal partner for lowering springs or OE sport suspension on fast-road and classic performance builds.

Expect crisp turn-in, reduced roll, improved stability under braking and composed high-speed control. The upside-down single-tube layout delivers excellent lateral stiffness for precise steering feel, while Bilstein’s gas pressure technology provides consistent damping when driven hard on B-roads, track days or spirited touring.

Why enthusiasts choose this setup

• Shortened sport design keeps correct preload with lowering springs for the BMW 02 Series
• Monotube gas technology for dependable, fade-resistant damping under continuous use
• Upside-down construction for superior rigidity and sharper feedback through the wheel
• Excellent control without ruining everyday ride comfort on classic BMWs
• Proven upgrade for fast-road 1502, 1602, 1802, 2002, Ti, Tii and Turbo applications
