Bilstein B8 35-124115 Front Nearside Damper for BMW Z4 E85 E86 – short-stroke performance upgrade for lowered cars

Looking to sharpen your BMW Z4’s turn-in and grip after fitting lowering springs or running a factory sports chassis? The Bilstein B8 35-124115 is the uprated front nearside strut you want. This premium inverted monotube damper is tuned for reduced ride height, delivering quick steering response, flatter cornering and real-world stability on British roads without ruining day-to-day comfort.

We run B8s on our own builds at MJ Modifications and customer feedback is consistently outstanding. Expect tighter body control, better traction over bumpy B-roads and a confident, planted feel at speed. If you are searching for a direct bolt-on front left Z4 damper for fast-road use that works perfectly with lowering springs, this unit is a proven choice.
