Bilstein SPRINT B8 Dampers

Porsche Bilstein SPRINT B8 Dampers

The shortened, high-performance Bilstein B8 damper is designed specifically for lowered Porsche models. Rather than simply chasing a lower stance, the B8 focuses on matching spring rates, suspension travel and damping so your Porsche feels composed, responsive and predictable on the road.

Our Porsche Bilstein SPRINT B8 Damper Range

The category covers dedicated B8 applications for a wide selection of Porsche models running sport or lowering springs. You’ll find front and rear dampers for individual replacement, matched pairs and, where available, complete axle sets to suit common fast-road and sport setups.

Why do Porsche Bilstein SPRINT B8 Dampers matter?

On a lowered Porsche, the choice of damper has a major influence on how natural and confidence-inspiring the car feels. Standard-length shocks working with shorter springs can run out of travel and feel unsettled; the Bilstein B8 is engineered as a shortened high-performance unit to complement reduced ride height. The result is a suspension package that is better controlled over bumps, with more consistent body movement and a more cohesive feel from the chassis.

• Helps your lowered Porsche feel controlled rather than harsh or bouncy
• Supports effective use of lowering springs by matching stroke and damping
• Reduces the risk of frequent bottoming-out on a properly chosen setup
• Maintains a reassuring, well-resolved feel suitable for fast-road use

When should you review or replace your Porsche Bilstein SPRINT B8 dampers?

Lowered suspension places particular demands on the dampers, as travel is reduced and loads can be concentrated over a shorter stroke. Periodic checks help you identify age-related wear or mismatched components before they detract from how your Porsche drives.

• You notice increased float, bouncing or a nervous feel from a previously well-set-up lowered car
• There are signs of oil leakage, corrosion or physical damage on the damper body
• The car bottoms out more often than expected on normal roads, despite sensible ride height
• Tyre wear becomes uneven or cupped, suggesting poor control of wheel movement

If any of these apply, it is a good moment to inspect your suspension and consider renewing or correctly configuring Bilstein B8 dampers so your Porsche continues to feel composed and enjoyable.
