Product details
Bilstein's B8 rear damper suits lowered VW independent rear suspension. Its monotube design is a performance replacement, with 12mm eye mounts at both ends. Choose it with the actual springs, ride height, and suspension travel in mind so the lowered setup works within the damper's range.
