Product Description

The Bilstein B6 Performance Rear Shock (Part No. 24-029766) is a high-quality, monotube gas-charged rear damper engineered to replace and upgrade the stock rear shocks on Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 models (1997–2013) with standard suspension. Designed as an OE-plus performance replacement, this shock maintains stock ride height and spring rates while providing superior damping control over worn or basic twin-tube units. The monotube design resists fade and keeps rear suspension motion in check, enhancing stability, traction feel, and handling confidence without making your ride harsh or uncomfortable.

Fitment Notes

  • Fits Chevrolet Corvette C5 and C6 (1997–2013) rear suspension without electronic or Magnetic Ride Control systems.

  • Rear shock only — typically replaced in pairs for balanced performance.

  • Works with factory springs — no lowered or adjustable springs required (will maintain OEM ride height).

  • Designed as a direct replacement — installs using existing mounts and hardware.

Included

  • (1) Bilstein B6 Performance Rear Shock Absorber (Part No. 24-029766)

  • Protective black straight boot over the shaft to help reduce debris exposure.

  • Mounting hardware as needed for direct install (varies by vehicle and retailer).

Product Specs

  • Series: Bilstein B6 Performance Series (Monotube)

  • Internal design: Gas-charged monotube for consistent damping, even under load.

  • Mount type: Stem upper / clevis lower configuration.

  • Extended length: 15.91 in (404 mm)

  • Collapsed length: 12.78 in (324.5 mm)

  • Finish: Yellow paint with black boot for corrosion resistance and durability.

  • Position: Rear shock — typically replaced on both sides for optimal balance.

  • Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty through Bilstein performance products.

Product Features

  • Improved damping performance: Monotube gas-pressure technology provides greater control and reduced body motion compared to worn or basic twin-tube stock shocks, especially on spirited driving or uneven pavement.

  • Fade-resistant design: Resists heat saturation and fluid foaming during sustained or repeated compressions, helping maintain consistent ride behavior.

  • OE-plus comfort: Tuned valving delivers a balanced feel — firmer and more controlled than stock, yet compliant for everyday driving.

  • Direct replacement: Installs into existing mount points with no modification required, making it an accessible upgrade for DIY mechanics or professional installs.

  • Durable construction: High-quality materials and finish help protect the shock from corrosion and wear over time.

  • Enhanced rear stability: Helps reduce rear-end “float,” squat under acceleration, and excessive oscillation over bumps for a more planted feel.
