Performance Line Details

The Bilstein B6 Performance line is aimed at drivers who want improved handling and safety without changing the factory spring setup. This strut assembly is engineered to work with the OE spring, making it a practical choice for restoring suspension control on a vehicle such as a Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla when the original strut has lost damping performance. The 35-040408 strut uses Bilstein’s monotube construction to help maintain stable damping under repeated suspension movement, and it is tested to meet or exceed OE standards.

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

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Excessive bounce after bumps or dips
• Reduced steering response and body control
• Uneven ride quality from worn OE struts
• Noisy or unstable suspension behavior from aging dampers
• Loss of confidence during braking and cornering

Installation Notes

Install this strut assembly in place of the original OE-style unit and pair it with the factory spring as specified by the B6 Performance design. Verify mount style, suspension position, and vehicle application before installation. For fitment-based searches, this Bilstein 35-040408 strut assembly is commonly referenced for OE replacement suspension service on Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla applications where the original spring is retained.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein rigorously tests B6 Performance dampers to meet or exceed OE standards. The 35-040408 part number reflects a performance-oriented replacement built to support consistent damping quality and long-term suspension control.
