The B6 series is their street-performance line, built around a monotube gas-pressure design that resists fade, doesn't foam under repeated cycling, and provides a more linear damping curve than twin-tube stock-replacement shocks. Pairing the improved IRS geometry with quality B6 shocks delivers more predictable cornering, better grip on rough surfaces, and a more composed ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMonotube Gas Pressure:\u003c\/b\u003e Resists fade and won't foam under repeated cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eComposed IRS Ride:\u003c\/b\u003e Complements the IRS rear for predictable cornering and better grip on rough surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinear Damping:\u003c\/b\u003e More linear damping curve than twin-tube stock-replacement shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eOE Pedigree:\u003c\/b\u003e From Bilstein, OE shock supplier to the world's serious driving cars for over six decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Bilstein B6 Performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePosition:\u003c\/b\u003e Rear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesign:\u003c\/b\u003e Monotube, gas pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eApplication:\u003c\/b\u003e IRS (Independent Rear Suspension).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSold as:\u003c\/b\u003e Single shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/b\u003e 97-4005-0 (EMPI) \/ 24-006347 (Bilstein).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow do I know if I have IRS or swing axle?\u003c\/b\u003e Look at the rear wheels with the car on level ground.
