Bilstein B8 35-170679 Offside Front Damper for BMW Z4 E89 2009 to 2016

Transform the way your BMW Z4 E89 drives with the Bilstein B8 35-170679 offside front strut. This short-body performance damper is tailored for cars on lowering springs or factory sport chassis, delivering taut body control, crisp steering response and real-world composure on British roads. Expect the hallmark Bilstein feel from its inverted monotube gas design, with consistent, fade-resistant control mile after mile.

We run B8 units on our own builds and customer cars and the feedback is outstanding for daily use, fast road and weekend blasts. If your original front unit is tired or you are upgrading suspension with shorter springs, this B8 strut is the right-hand front solution that keeps the car planted without ruining ride quality.
