Improve the rear suspension control of a compatible 1998–2005 Lexus GS with the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus rear shock absorber. This 46 mm monotube gas-pressure damper features application-specific valving and is designed for use with aftermarket lowering springs or compatible production sport suspension systems.
Bilstein B8 dampers provide increased control over worn or conventional replacement shocks, helping reduce excessive body movement while improving cornering stability, road feedback and suspension response.

Recommended Use
Recommended for lowered Lexus GS applications using compatible aftermarket lowering springs or for vehicles equipped with a compatible production sport suspension. Bilstein B8 dampers are performance-oriented and may provide a firmer, more controlled ride than standard replacement shocks.
What’s Included
- One Bilstein B8 rear shock absorber
Not included: Coil spring, upper mounting plate, second rear shock and unrelated factory suspension hardware. Two shocks are required to service both sides of the rear axle.
Installation
Professional installation is recommended. Inspect the rear springs, upper mounts, dust boots, bump stops and related suspension bushings during installation. Replace shocks in left-and-right pairs to maintain balanced damping across the rear axle.
Reuse or replace the factory mounting bolts and related components as required. Tighten all suspension fasteners according to the Lexus service specifications and perform a wheel alignment if other suspension components or ride height are changed.
