Detailed Description

Bilstein B8 Performance Plus dampers are engineered as an OE-style performance upgrade for vehicles using aftermarket lowering springs. On the Mercedes-Benz GLA250 and Mercedes-Benz GLA45 AMG, this front right strut helps restore suspension control after lowering while supporting a sportier stance and more responsive handling.

What This Strut Helps Address
