Porsche 996 911 Carrera Rear Shock Absorber Kit Fits cars WITHOUT M030 sports suspension.
Restore the precise ride quality and confident handling your Porsche 996 911 Carrera was built to deliver. Over time, shocks gradually wear down, making changes in handling and comfort hard to notice until performance begins to fade. This complete shock absorber kit includes nearly everything you need to replace your worn components—shock mounts, bump stops, dust boots, and all necessary hardware.
Fits:
Porsche 996 3.4L Carrera
Porsche 996 3.6L Carrera
Porsche 996 3.6L Carrera S
Porsche 996 3.4L Carrera 4,
Porsche 996 3.6 Carrera 4,
Porsche 996 3.6 Turbo,
Porsche 996 3.6 Turbo S
With fresh shocks installed, you can expect:
Sharper, more responsive handling Improved ride comfort and stability Reduced braking distances More even tire wear
Note: Coil springs are not included and can be purchased separately if needed. The original washers and spacers can typically be reused unless they show signs of damage upon inspection.
B4 High Quality direct replacement shock absorbers constructed and finished to Bilstein's high standards often far and above what the car was originally supplied with. They can actually be a performance improvement if replacing plain, none gas charged, oil filled dampers. They dramatically reduce cavitation / oil foaming, thus give for more stable damping forces when driven 'spiritedly'. Some surprising cars come with plain oil filled dampers.
Key Features:
- Twin Tube Damper
- Gas pressurized
- OE damping forces

Bilstein B4 Standard Replacement for Porsche
The Bilstein B4 range is the OEM-equivalent damper line from Bilstein, designed as a direct replacement for standard suspension on many Porsche models. Using the same gas-pressure shock absorber technology that made Bilstein original equipment on countless vehicles worldwide, B4 units aim to restore the factory character of your Porsche with predictable, everyday road comfort and control.
What is Bilstein B4?
Bilstein B4 shock absorbers are developed to match original equipment specification for standard suspension systems. They are engineered to integrate with factory springs, mounting hardware and geometry, so that the basic ride height and balance of the car remain as Porsche intended.
- Direct-replacement dampers for standard-height suspension
- Gas-pressure technology derived from Bilstein’s OE and motorsport experience
- Application-specific tuning for each Porsche platform
- Developed to preserve the original ride/handling compromise
- Suitable for everyday use, commuting and touring
Depending on the model, Bilstein uses either its monotube gas-pressure design or a high-quality twin-tube format. The layout is chosen for each application to suit packaging, weight and performance requirements, while keeping the focus on robust, consistent damping in normal road use.
How Bilstein B4 feels on the road
On a Porsche with tired or ageing dampers, fresh Bilstein B4 units typically bring the car back towards a calm, controlled factory feel. The emphasis is on stable, confidence-inspiring behaviour rather than aggressive sport tuning.
- Comfort-biased damping for daily driving and mixed road conditions
- Composed response over uneven surfaces and poor road quality
- Stable support for the body in normal braking and acceleration
- Balanced behaviour that feels familiar if you are used to standard suspension
- Well suited to original wheels, tyres and geometry
The result, when combined with healthy mounts, bushes and springs, is a Porsche that feels refreshed and tidy without becoming noticeably firmer than a typical factory setup.
Typical Porsche use-cases for Bilstein B4
B4 is positioned as the sensible choice when you want to renew suspension on a road-focused Porsche without changing its character.
- Replacing worn original dampers with a quality, OE-style part
- Refreshing suspension on a daily-driven or long-distance Porsche
- Maintaining near-original feel on classic and modern Porsche models alike
- Keeping standard ride height while restoring control compared with tired units
- Choosing a recognised brand instead of basic pattern replacement dampers
If your priority is comfort, refinement and predictability in everyday use, Bilstein B4 generally sits at the most appropriate end of the Bilstein range. For lowered springs or more focused fast-road or track setups, other Bilstein lines are usually selected instead.
Key characteristics of Bilstein B4
B4 dampers benefit from the same development philosophy that underpins Bilstein’s wider product family.
- Gas-pressure technology for consistent damping characteristics
- Application-specific valving tailored to each Porsche model
- Designed as a direct fit with original springs and hardware
- Manufactured with corrosion-resistant finishes and high-quality sealing
- Developed by a long-established suspension specialist supplying many manufacturers as original equipment
The focus is on stable, reproducible behaviour in everyday driving, helping your Porsche feel composed and easy to live with over long-term ownership.
Who Bilstein B4 suits best on a Porsche
Bilstein B4 is aimed at owners who want their Porsche to feel “right” again on the road without making the car more demanding.
- Drivers prioritising comfort and refinement over maximum stiffness
- Owners mainly covering road mileage rather than regular circuit use
- People restoring a Porsche closer to its standard driving feel
- Those looking for a straightforward, like-for-like suspension refresh
- Owners who prefer a reputable, OE-style damper instead of a generic alternative
Matched correctly to your specific Porsche model and installed with suitable mounts and ancillary parts, a set of Bilstein B4 dampers can help restore a clean, settled and reassuring feel in everyday driving.
Installation and pairing considerations
For best results, Bilstein B4 should be treated as a system component within the wider suspension setup on your Porsche.
- Replace in axle pairs (both fronts together, both rears together)
- Intended for standard springs and factory ride height
- Commonly fitted alongside new top mounts, bump stops and dust covers on higher-mileage cars
- Wheel alignment check recommended after fitting
- Inspect other suspension parts (bushes, arms, links) during installation
Persistent noise or poor behaviour after fitting new dampers is often traced to worn mounts, drop links or bushes rather than the new units themselves, so an overall inspection is worthwhile.
Why choose Bilstein B4 for your Porsche?
Bilstein B4 brings together OE-style specification with Bilstein’s suspension expertise, making it a strong candidate when you want a straightforward replacement that respects the original character of the car.
- Developed by a widely recognised suspension specialist
- Preserves everyday usability and comfort expected from a standard Porsche setup
- Designed as a direct-fit replacement for the relevant Porsche model
- Suitable for routine road use, commuting and touring
- Provides a clear, quality-focused option in the standard replacement category
For Porsche owners who want their car to feel sorted, settled and confidence-inspiring on normal roads, Bilstein B4 standard replacement dampers offer an OEM-style solution built around predictable, comfortable and well-controlled behaviour.
