The Bilstein B6 Performance is a rear 36mm monotube shock absorber for the classic Jaguar XJ6, XJ12, and XJS (1968-1996). A bolt-on upgrade over the OE damper, it uses application-specific valving and Bilstein gas-pressure technology to sharpen grip and lane stability while working with the factory springs. Rigorously tested to meet or exceed OE standards.
