The Bilstein B16 (DampTronic) Suspension Kit 49‑135985 is a premium coil‑over upgrade designed to deliver adjustable ride height and performance‑grade damping, while preserving all of your Porsche’s original electronic suspension functions. It’s engineered to give you sharper handling, cleaner body control, and improved ride quality — whether you’re commuting, canyon carving, or pushing limits on a back road. Built with monotube, zinc‑coated dampers and tuned springs, this kit brings both durability and versatility, offering a noticeably more planted, responsive feel without sacrificing daily‑driving comfort.
Designed for select Porsche 911 models (997‑generation, 2006–2013) that came with the factory electronic suspension (PASM / DampTronic).
Compatible only where the original electronic damping‑control system is present — ensures full integration with factory electronics.
Ride‑height adjustable: allows lowering by approximately 30–50 mm (varies per axle).
Full set of front and rear monotube dampers/shocks built by Bilstein
Matched springs (main + tender, as required for proper ride height and damping balance)
Threaded bodies for adjustability (lowering/ride‑height tuning)
All required mounting hardware for direct bolt‑on installation
