Product Details
Bilstein B4 OE Replacement dampers are built for drivers who want to return the vehicle to its original suspension feel without changing the factory character. This front strut assembly is designed for the Porsche 911 and follows OE-style specifications for fit and function. The twintube design supports controlled damping, while the OE replacement tuning helps maintain the handling balance expected from the chassis. Part number 22-147455 is also referenced for the same application as Bilstein VN7-E745.
The B4 OE Replacement line focuses on restoring original performance rather than altering suspension behavior. For Porsche 911 owners, that means a front strut solution that aligns with factory ride quality and handling on 2005-2012 models without PASM.

Installation Notes
Verify that the vehicle is equipped without electronic suspension (PASM) before ordering.

Inspect related suspension components such as mounts, bushings, and springs during replacement to help ensure proper operation after installation.
