1950-1973 Bilstein B6 Performance Front Shock Absorber - King Pin

Give your classic VW tighter control and more confidence without turning every drive into a harsh one. Bilstein B6 Performance front shock absorbers use monotube gas-pressure technology and vehicle-specific tuning to improve traction, handling, and stability while maintaining the ride comfort that makes an air-cooled VW enjoyable on the street. Each shock is road-tested and fine-tuned by Bilstein, helping keep the tires planted and the suspension composed through corners, rough pavement, quick transitions, and everyday cruising. Best of all, the B6 is designed to deliver a noticeable performance upgrade while retaining your factory-style springs, making it a smart choice when you want your Beetle, Karmann Ghia, or Type 3 to feel more controlled and predictable without completely changing its suspension setup.
