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.

Front Shock Absorbers for Porsche - Suspension Control & Ride Comfort
Front Shock Absorbers are a critical part of the Porsche suspension system, controlling wheel movement, maintaining tyre contact, and delivering balanced ride comfort and handling precision. By damping suspension travel, front shocks absorb road impacts, reduce body movement, and help keep the vehicle stable during braking, cornering, and acceleration.
Available from Design911, Porsche front shock absorbers are designed to restore factory ride quality, steering response, and suspension performance for both everyday driving and dynamic use.
What Do Front Shock Absorbers Do?
Front shock absorbers manage suspension movement and vehicle control.
Core Functions:
- Control vertical wheel and suspension movement.
- Maintain consistent tyre contact with the road.
- Reduce body roll, dive, and pitch.
- Improve steering response and braking stability.
- Enhance ride comfort and handling balance.
Front shocks play a key role in steering precision and overall chassis behaviour.
Why Do Front Shock Absorbers Fail?
Shock absorbers wear gradually due to constant movement and load.
Common Causes of Failure:
- Internal seal wear leading to oil leakage.
- Loss of damping efficiency over time.
- Heat-related degradation from sustained use.
- Physical damage from potholes or road debris.
- Age and high mileage.
Worn front shocks reduce control, increase stopping distances, and negatively affect ride quality.
When Should Front Shock Absorbers Be Replaced?
Replacing worn front shocks restores safety and handling performance.
Replacement Is Recommended When:
- Excessive body movement or nose dive is noticed.
- Steering feels vague or unstable.
- Fluid leaks are visible on the shock body.
- Uneven tyre wear develops.
- As part of suspension refresh or high-mileage servicing.
Front shocks are often replaced in pairs to maintain balanced suspension performance.
Key Benefits
- Restores precise steering and braking control
- Improves ride comfort and chassis stability
- Maintains correct suspension geometry
- Reduces tyre wear and body movement
- Suitable for road and performance use
