Product Details

Bilstein 48-132688 is part of the B16 (PSS10) line, a performance suspension range focused on adjustable damping and precise chassis control. For Porsche 911 owners, this kit provides a direct-fit solution with application-specific spring rates and a monotube design that supports stable damping behavior across a wide range of road and driving conditions. The 10-click adjustment system changes both rebound and compression together, allowing you to set the suspension for comfort, response, or firmer control without changing components.

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

Common Issues It Can Address

• Excessive body roll during cornering
• Uneven or overly soft suspension response
• Need for adjustable ride height on a Porsche 911
• Loss of damping control from worn suspension components
• Desire for a more controlled street and performance setup

Installation Notes

Fits 1995-1998 Porsche 911, front and rear. Verify vehicle configuration and existing suspension condition before installation. Ride height and damping settings should be adjusted after installation and then fine-tuned during a road test to match driving conditions.

Quality Assurance

Bilstein manufactures the B16 (PSS10) suspension kit in Germany using a monotube damper design and application-specific spring matching. The zinc-coated threaded body is specified to help resist harsh road exposure while maintaining adjustment capability over time.
