Product Details

Bilstein’s B6 Performance (DampTronic) line is built for drivers who want a firmer, more controlled front suspension without giving up the factory electronic system. This damper is paired with OE springs and is engineered to preserve the active features of the original suspension setup on the Porsche Macan. The result is a direct-fit front shock absorber that supports improved handling, stability, and safety while keeping factory controls in place. This part number, 23-246157, is also referenced for the same application under OE cross numbers used on the Macan platform.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float on the Porsche Macan
• Reduced steering precision during braking and cornering
• Worn OE front shock absorber performance
• Loss of control feel in vehicles with electronic damping
• Uneven ride response from aging suspension components

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only and pair with OE factory springs as specified for the B6 Performance (DampTronic) setup. Confirm the vehicle is equipped with Electronic Suspension (PASM) before ordering. The damper uses a stem upper mount and base cup lower mount, and no boot is included. Professional installation and a post-installation alignment are recommended whenever front suspension components are replaced.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests each B6 Performance (DampTronic) damper to meet or exceed OE standards, with application-specific tuning for the Porsche Macan. Part number 23-246157 is built for factory electronic damping compatibility and consistent performance in daily driving and spirited use.
