Bilstein B6 1996-2004 Porsche Boxster Rear Twintube Strut Assembly

This Bilstein B6 Performance damper serves as a direct replacement rear strut for the Porsche Boxster 986 chassis. It uses gas pressure technology and application specific valving to maintain factory spring rates while sharpening response during daily driving and spirited use. Each unit undergoes testing to match or exceed original equipment durability standards.

Key Features

  • Gas Pressure Design: Maintains consistent damping force across temperature changes
  • Vehicle Specific Valving: Calibrated for Porsche Boxster chassis dynamics
  • Monotube Construction: Provides fade resistant performance under repeated hard use
  • Direct Fit: Bolts in place of the original rear strut without modifications
  • OE Supplier Background: Produced by the same manufacturer that supplies Porsche
