Detailed description
This Bilstein shock absorber is part of the B6 Performance line and is engineered as a direct upgrade over OE dampers while retaining the factory spring setup. The monotube-based performance tuning is intended to improve handling feel and safety without changing the vehicle’s basic suspension layout. Part number 22-276773 is a fitment-specific rear strut assembly for Porsche 718 Boxster, Porsche 718 Cayman, Porsche Boxster, and Porsche Cayman applications listed below.
The B6 Performance line focuses on controlled damping and consistent response under driving loads. For Porsche 718 Boxster and Porsche 718 Cayman models, this rear strut assembly fits vehicles without electronic suspension (PASM). It also fits Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman applications in the listed years, making 22-276773 a targeted replacement for owners seeking OE-style suspension service with a performance bias. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What it is used for
- Restoring rear suspension control when the original damper is worn
- Reducing excess bounce, float, or unsettled ride behavior
- Improving steering and chassis response in performance driving
- Replacing a rear strut assembly with OE-style spring compatibility
