Abarth 500 / 595 / 695 Bilstein B6 Rear Shock Absorber — Single

The Bilstein B6 is a high-performance gas pressure rear shock absorber for the Abarth 500, 595, and 695. Designed for drivers who want a meaningful step up in damping performance and body control over the standard OEM damper, without going to a full motorsport or track-focused setup. The B6 delivers a sportier, more controlled ride character while retaining everyday comfort — making it an ideal upgrade for road and occasional track day use. Sold as a single unit. Order two for a complete rear axle.
