• 60mm internal body diameter
• Monotube internal design for consistent performance
• Reservoir included for improved heat dissipation
• Zinc plated finish for corrosion resistance
• Eyelet mounts (12.8mm) on both upper and lower ends
• Collapsed length: 18.11 inches (460 mm)
• Extended length: 29.13 inches (740 mm)

Detailed Features and Design

The Bilstein B8 8100 (Bypass) shock absorber features a monotube design that enhances heat dissipation and maintains consistent damping performance under demanding conditions. Its bypass body allows for fine-tuning of both compression and rebound damping independently, providing drivers with the ability to customize suspension response based on driving style or terrain. The 60mm internal diameter ensures robust construction, while the zinc plated finish offers protection against corrosion. Eyelet mounts measuring 12.8mm on both ends facilitate secure attachment to compatible suspension setups.

About the B8 8100 (Bypass) Product Line

The B8 8100 (Bypass) series from Bilstein is designed for applications requiring adjustable damping without coilover integration. This line focuses on delivering precise suspension tuning through bypass technology, which separates compression and rebound circuits for enhanced control. The inclusion of a remote reservoir improves fluid capacity and heat management, making these shocks suitable for performance-oriented vehicles and off-road use where suspension demands vary.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Improves vehicle handling and stability on uneven terrain
• Reduces body roll and enhances cornering response
• Allows customization of ride comfort and performance
• Addresses shock fade during extended or aggressive driving
• Replaces worn or damaged factory shocks for restored suspension function

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s suspension system by verifying eyelet mount dimensions and shock length requirements. The 12.8mm eyelet mounts on both ends require appropriate hardware for secure installation. Adjust damping settings incrementally to find the optimal balance between comfort and control. Professional installation is recommended to maintain suspension geometry and safety.
