Product Details

Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are built as a performance-focused OE replacement for drivers who want sharper control without changing the factory spring setup. This rear shock absorber for the Chevrolet Corvette is engineered to improve handling stability, road control, and safety while preserving the original suspension geometry. The 20-070281 part number is also referenced by cross numbers BA5-7028 and F4-BA5-7028-H1 for the same application.

Compatible With 1992-1995 Chevrolet Corvette, rear, with Selective Ride. This fitment is specific to the rear position and should be matched to the vehicle’s factory suspension configuration before ordering. The Bilstein B6 Performance line is focused on direct-fit damping upgrades that pair with OE springs and use vehicle-specific tuning rather than universal settings.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce or oscillation
• Reduced cornering stability and body control
• Worn OE shock performance on factory-spring suspension
• Inconsistent damping response over changing road surfaces
• Loss of confidence during braking and lane changes

Installation Notes

Install on the rear of 1992-1995 Chevrolet Corvette models equipped with Selective Ride. Verify the upper stem mount and lower eye 16mm mount before installation, and confirm the vehicle is using the OE factory spring setup. For best results, replace shocks in pairs on the same axle and inspect related suspension components for wear during service.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests B6 Performance dampers to meet or exceed OE standards, with a monotube design and application-specific valving used to support consistent performance. Part number 20-070281 is built under Bilstein’s performance damper program for direct-fit suspension service on the Chevrolet Corvette.
