Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Right Shock Absorber (Damper) - BMW 6 Series Convertible F12 2011-2018, with M-Technology, without EDC, Direct-Fit Upgrade, Lowering Springs Compatible - Single Unit

Offside Front Performance Damper for BMW F12 6 Series Cabriolet 2011 to 2018

Upgrade the handling of your F12 soft-top with this Bilstein B8 offside front gas-pressure damper. Engineered for cars with M Sport chassis specification and non-adaptive suspension, it is a bolt-on replacement that brings sharper control, faster steering response and a tighter, more planted feel on British roads.

Shorter-stroke internals and application-specific valving make this the ideal partner for quality lowering springs. Expect confident turn-in, reduced float, better mid-corner composure and improved stability under braking. It is a single offside front unit designed to replace the factory shock on vehicles without EDC or adaptive damping.

• Fast-road focused damper that works brilliantly with reputable lowering spring kits
