Bilstein B8 (B8 Sprint) Rear Shock Absorber / Damper Strut (Each) for BMW 6 Series Convertible F12 Cabriolet 2011-2018, Non-EDC Non-Adaptive – Monotube Gas, Shortened for Lowering Springs, M-Technik – Fast Road OE Performance Upgrade – 640i 650i 640d

Bilstein B8 Rear Damper Unit for BMW 6 Series F12 Cabriolet, without EDC

Transform the way your 6 Series drives with the Bilstein B8 rear damper. This uprated sports shock is built for lowered BMW F12 convertibles and fast road setups, giving you sharper responses, planted cornering and the trademark Bilstein precision. It is an ideal OE-plus upgrade or high quality replacement on cars without adaptive damping.

The B8 uses a gas pressure monotube layout with M-technology valving, delivering consistent control when hot and superb composure on British B-roads. Its shortened stroke works perfectly with lowering coils and M Sport chassis springs, keeping the rear axle tied down without the harshness of cheap shocks.
