About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2007-2015 Mini Cooper, especially if you've installed or are planning to install lowering springs, this Bilstein B8 Performance Plus rear right shock absorber is a solid choice. It's built to work specifically with those shorter springs, helping you achieve a sportier feel and a lower stance without sacrificing too much comfort.

This shock uses a monotube design, which is known for its ability to handle heat well and maintain consistent damping performance, even during spirited driving. Bilstein tunes each shock specifically for the vehicle application, meaning it's valved to complement the changes that come with lowering springs. This helps improve handling and safety by keeping the tire in better contact with the road.

This is the rear right shock absorber. If you're upgrading your suspension, you'll want to make sure you get the correct shock for each corner of your Mini Cooper.
