About Bilstein B6

Bilstein's monotube gas-pressure design has more than 60 years of OEM and motorsport development behind it. The B6 series delivers firmer damping and quicker response than stock without changing ride height — ideal for daily-driven Super Beetles where stock-look stance and improved handling are both wanted.
