Bilstein B16 (PSS10) Suspension Kit for Porsche 911

The Bilstein B16 (PSS10) suspension kit is built for Porsche 911 owners who want ride height adjustability and manual damping control in a direct-fit package.

• Made in Germany and tested on the Nürburgring

B16 (PSS10) Product Line Details

Bilstein’s B16 (PSS10) series is positioned for drivers who want to fine-tune suspension behavior with a simple click-adjustable damper. The 10-stage system changes rebound and compression together, allowing the chassis to be set up for different road surfaces, driving styles, and ride-height preferences while keeping the spring and damper package matched to the vehicle.

Detailed Description

Bilstein 48-132626 is a B16 (PSS10) suspension kit for the Porsche 911 that combines threaded ride height adjustment with manually adjustable damping. The monotube design supports stable damping performance, while the zinc-coated damper bodies help protect against harsh road conditions. For 1989, 1990, and 1991 Porsche 911 models, this kit provides a vehicle-specific suspension solution for owners looking to refine stance and handling balance without leaving the OE-quality fitment format.

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

What This Suspension Kit Helps Address

• Excessive body roll during cornering
• Uneven or inconsistent ride height
• Suspension response that is too soft or too firm for the driving setup
• Reduced control over rebound and compression tuning
• Corrosion concerns on exposed suspension components

Installation Notes and Tips
