Bilstein 24-243407 Suspension Shock Absorber - Rear

Bilstein B6 Rear Shock for Mini Cooper

The Bilstein B6 Performance shock absorber, part number 24-243407, is a rear suspension upgrade for the Mini Cooper with factory springs and without electronic suspension. It uses a monotube internal design and application-specific valving to sharpen handling response while maintaining OE-style spring compatibility.

Built for drivers who want more controlled rear suspension behavior on a Mini Cooper, this Bilstein shock absorber combines yellow painted finish, stem upper mount, and 14.1mm eye lower mount construction for a direct-fit replacement approach. The 24-243407 is engineered to meet or exceed OE standards through rigorous testing.

Fitment Details

• Fits 2014-2025 Mini Cooper, rear, without electronic suspension; B6 Performance

The Bilstein B6 Performance line focuses on OE spring compatibility with firmer, more controlled damping than a standard replacement shock. For Mini Cooper owners, that means a rear suspension shock absorber tuned to improve handling feel and stability without changing the factory spring setup. Part number 24-243407 is also referenced by OE cross numbers for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear body motion over bumps and uneven pavement
• Loose or undercontrolled rear suspension feel
• Reduced handling precision in daily driving
• Wear-related loss of damping performance
• Need for an OE-spring-compatible performance shock upgrade

Installation Notes

Install on the rear position only and verify the vehicle does not have electronic suspension before ordering. Confirm the stem upper mount and 14.1mm eye lower mount match the original hardware layout on the Mini Cooper. Because this damper is designed around the OE factory spring, it should be paired with the stock spring configuration for proper operation.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein tests each B6 Performance damper to meet or exceed OE standards. The monotube design and application-specific valving are part of the brand’s performance-focused suspension engineering, giving the 24-243407 a controlled, repeatable damping profile for the Mini Cooper rear suspension.
