Bilstein 24-239424 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Overview

Bilstein B8 Performance Plus shock absorber 24-239424 is a performance-oriented OE-style upgrade for vehicles using aftermarket lowering springs. It uses application-specific valving and a monotube design to improve handling response while maintaining Bilstein’s quality standards.

Key Features

• Monotube internal design for consistent damping response.
• Application-specific valve settings tuned for performance use.
• Yellow painted finish with Bilstein B8 Performance Plus series identification.
• Stem upper mount and bar pin lower mount configuration.
• Boot not included.

Detailed Description

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus line is built for drivers who want a firmer, more controlled suspension setup after installing lowering springs. Part number 24-239424 is engineered as a direct performance replacement shock absorber for the Chevrolet Corvette, with fitment listed for 2014-2019 Corvette models without electronic suspension. The monotube construction helps maintain damping consistency, and the valving is matched to the intended spring setup for improved road control and a sportier stance. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 8241-1306Sport) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Reducing excess body motion after lowering the suspension.
• Restoring controlled damping when OE shocks are no longer suited to the spring setup.
• Improving steering response and road feel in performance driving.
• Addressing worn shock absorber performance on a Chevrolet Corvette.

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2014-2019 Chevrolet Corvette, front, without electronic suspension. Confirm chassis code C7 and verify mount style before installation. This shock absorber is intended for use with lowering springs and should be matched to the vehicle’s suspension configuration. Part number 24-239424 should be checked against the existing damper and mounting points before service.

Quality Assurance
