Bilstein B8 Front Right Shock Absorber (OSF/Offside Front) for BMW E46 3 Series M-Tech/M Sport - Performance Plus Monotube Damper Strut for Lowered Springs

Right-hand front Bilstein B8 damper for BMW 3 Series E46 with M Sport or M Tech suspension. A direct-fit uprated strut that tightens body control, sharpens steering response and boosts confidence on fast road and track use. Supplied individually for the offside front position.

Engineered specifically for the E46 chassis with the factory sport package, the B8 uses a monotube layout with E46-specific valving to deliver crisp turn-in, reduced roll and dependable control over demanding B-roads. Its shortened design is ideal when running lowering springs, maintaining stroke in a reduced ride height setup for better grip and stability without sacrificing everyday comfort.
