Product details
This stock-height IRS rear shock uses Bilstein's B6 monotube design and a black-painted body. Both ends have 12mm eye mounts. The 276.5mm collapsed and 411mm extended lengths identify the standard-height rear application; check Super Beetle fitment around the 1973 production change.

Fitment & Compatibility
Bilstein specifies IRS Beetle 1968–1979, Fastback 1968–1973, Karmann Ghia 1968–1974, and Thing 1973–1974. Its Super Beetle range is limited to 1971–1973, through August 1973. Verify production date, installed suspension, and original shock reference; do not extend that Super Beetle range from the general IRS description.
