Bilstein Shock B6 Front 46mm Monotube 90-97 Corvette

Front damping provided by the Bilstein B6 90-97 Chevrolet Corvette Front 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber delivers improved handling response and consistent damping under varied driving conditions.

This Bilstein B6 is a performance upgrade to OE dampers designed to be paired with the OE factory spring. The damper uses a monotube design and application-specific valve settings to optimize vehicle dynamics without altering original ride height or spring rates. Each unit is rigorously tested as part of Bilstein’s development process.

• Monotube design — delivers consistent thermal management and rapid pressure equalization to maintain predictable damping under sustained use.
• Application-specific valve settings — calibrated for the 1990–1997 Corvette to improve transient response and control during cornering while retaining appropriate comfort for street use.
• Designed for OE factory spring pairing — preserves original suspension geometry and spring rates so fitment and ride characteristics remain compatible with stock components.
• Performance upgrade to OE dampers — engineered to extract improved handling performance from the existing suspension without requiring additional modifications.
• Brand and engineering pedigree — Bilstein’s motorsport-derived technology provides a focused, data-driven approach to damper behavior and durability.
• Tested units — each damper is subjected to Bilstein’s testing protocols to validate performance characteristics for the intended application.

Technical considerations:

• Position — Front
• Bore — 46 mm (as specified in product title)
• Type — Monotube shock absorber
• Compatibility — Designed to work with OE factory springs for the 1990–1997 Chevrolet Corvette

Typical benefits you'll notice in service: crisper turn-in and reduced body motion compared with OE dampers, maintained ride height and geometry due to OE spring compatibility, and controlled damping across a wide range of driving inputs thanks to application-specific valving.
