Bilstein 24-241328 Suspension Shock Absorber - Front

Bilstein B8 Performance Plus Front Shock

The Bilstein B8 Performance Plus front shock absorber is a performance-focused upgrade for lowered suspension setups. Built for the 2015-2021 Mercedes-Benz C300 front position, it uses application-specific valving and a monotube internal design to improve handling response and control.

Part number 24-241328 is part of the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus line, a series made for vehicles running aftermarket lowering springs. For drivers looking for a firmer, more controlled ride on a Mercedes-Benz C300, this front shock is engineered to match that suspension change without sacrificing Bilstein build quality.

Detailed Description

Bilstein 24-241328 is a front suspension shock absorber built for lowered applications on the Mercedes-Benz C300. The B8 Performance Plus line is tuned for use with aftermarket lowering springs, helping restore proper damping control after ride height changes while supporting sharper steering response and more composed body control. The monotube construction helps maintain consistent performance under repeated suspension movement, making it a practical choice for street-driven performance setups.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive bounce after installing lowering springs
• Reduced front-end control during cornering
• Soft or underdamped ride quality on lowered suspension
• Uneven damping response from worn OE shocks
• Loss of suspension precision on a Mercedes-Benz C300 front setup

Installation Notes and Tips

Install 24-241328 on the front of 2015-2021 Mercedes-Benz C300 models only. This shock uses a stem upper mount and clevis lower mount, so verify mount style and suspension configuration before installation. Because the B8 Performance Plus line is intended for lowered springs, confirm spring and ride-height setup before replacing front dampers.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests each B8 Performance Plus damper to meet or exceed OE quality standards. The monotube design and application-specific valving are selected to support consistent performance in lowered-suspension use, and the yellow painted finish identifies the B8 Performance Plus series.
