Bilstein Sport B6 rear shock absorbers and top mounts kit by Bilstein for Porsche 996 C2 models from 1997–2005. This rear suspension package is intended for cars using standard springs and is listed for models without sports suspension.
What This Product Does The kit renews the rear dampers and upper mounting points. Bilstein B6 dampers use gas-pressure technology and application-specific valving, with the B6 line commonly selected for standard ride height road applications.
Functions
- Replaces rear shock absorbers and top mounts together.
- Supports matched damping across the rear axle.
- Works with suitable standard springs where the application allows.
- Helps address worn, leaking or corroded rear dampers.
- Avoids pairing renewed dampers with aged upper mounts.
Symptoms of Fault
- Floaty or unsettled ride after bumps.
- Poor rebound control or excess body movement.
- Increased roll or pitch compared with normal behaviour.
- Uneven tyre wear or tyre cupping.
- Rear suspension knocking, which may also come from mounts, bushes or links.
- Visible damper leakage, corrosion or damage.
Why Replacement Matters Rear dampers and top mounts wear with age and mileage. Replacing them as a rear kit can help restore consistent suspension operation and reduce the likelihood of noise from old mounting parts. After suspension work, wheel alignment should be checked.
Fits
- Porsche 996 (911) (1997–2005)
- Porsche 996 C2 3.4L (1997–08/01)
- Porsche 996 C2 3.6L (09/01–2005)
Check fitment for your specific vehicle, including model, year, engine and suspension specification, before ordering.
FAQs
- Can B6 dampers be used with standard springs? Often yes, depending on the specific application. This listing is for standard spring applications without sports suspension.
- B6 or B8? B6 is generally used with standard springs, while B8 is commonly selected for lowered springs.
- Is alignment needed after fitting? Yes, alignment should be checked after suspension work.
- Should mounts be renewed at the same time? Renewing mounts with dampers is a sensible approach where mounts are worn or aged.

The shock absorber for those drivers who prefer a sports suspension but are not particularly interested in lowering the body. Also available in special design complete with reservoir for off-road vehicles.
No risk, more fun
For some people it's important to show what they have, for others it's sufficient to know that they have it. The theme of the discussion here is the sports suspension. The BILSTEIN B6 Sports shock absorber is the ideal solution for drivers revelling in the understatement . The wolf in sheep's clothing snarls, when necessary, but otherwise goes reliably about its work in daily traffic with no lowering of the body whatsoever.
Optimum road holding, enhanced tracking stabilisation and excellent damping force: the BILSTEIN B6 Sports is not only first choice as far as sports tuning is concerned but also in the sphere of safety.
