Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Monotube Strut for 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) - 22-046239

Fits 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster (986) Base, Roadster, S, and S Special Edition models.

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus strut assembly is the definitive upgrade for Porsche Boxster owners looking to optimize their vehicle's handling after installing lowering springs. While standard struts often reach the limit of their travel when paired with shorter springs, the B8 is specifically engineered with a shortened stroke to maintain proper spring tension and suspension geometry. This ensures the damper operates in its ideal range for improved response and control.

Utilizing Bilstein's signature gas-pressure monotube technology, these struts provide superior heat dissipation and consistent damping force even under high-performance driving conditions. Each unit is precision-valved for the 986 chassis to deliver a sportier feel while maintaining the refined ride quality expected of a Porsche. Whether you are refreshing a worn suspension or completing a lowering project, the B8 Performance Plus offers a direct-fit solution that meets or exceeds original equipment standards.
