This is Bilstein's B6 performance-line rear shock in monotube, gas-pressure form, catalogued under manufacturer part number 24-267311 for the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. Enthusiasts choose the monotube design because it is a step up from factory damping, and owners on user forums who ran B6 dampers on earlier Camaros describe a clear improvement in control over stock units. B6 dampers are generally matched to factory springs, and a user forum discussion of lowering springs notes that Bilstein has not offered matched B6 units for lowering setups, so this shock suits a stock-height car. Searches for a 6th gen Camaro rear monotube, Bilstein 24-267311 replacement, or B6 rear damper for factory suspension point to exactly this application.
Before ordering, confirm fitment. Listings show different year ranges for this part, so check the model year against the manufacturer's application data and confirm with the manufacturer if your car falls outside 2016 to 2020. Owners on user forums say the B6 is not adjustable, so buyers who want adjustable rebound or ride height should look at a different product line. For a rear-shock swap, the job is mostly a matter of access and patience: the upper mount sits behind the rear interior trim, the lower mount is at the axle, and the shock's center shaft must be held while the upper nut is loosened. Plan for a helper and a basic socket set.
Owners on user forums who fitted B6 rear dampers to an earlier Camaro reported that the shock compresses the factory spring further than stock, adding preload that can stiffen the rear end and raise ride height. The effect varies with spring stiffness, so check ride height after installation.
A user forum discussion of 6th gen lowering setups notes that Bilstein has not offered B6 units specifically matched to lowering springs. Owners on user forums generally pair B6s with factory springs, so confirm compatibility with the manufacturer before fitting them to a lowered car.
The product title lists 2016 to 2020 Camaro models, but other sources show different year ranges for this part number. The manufacturer should be consulted with your VIN to confirm fitment before you order.
Owners on user forums who have documented rear shock swaps on earlier Camaro generations describe the same general sequence: pull back the rear carpet and any foam underlayment to expose the upper shock bolts, then hold the shock's center shaft with a wrench while loosening the upper nut, and finally unbolt the lower mount at the rear axle. Common gotchas include the upper shaft spinning if it is not held, and needing to check spring seating and preload after the new shock is in. Basic hand tools and a helper are usually enough. Because 6th gen procedures were not confirmed against the manufacturer's install sheet during research, follow the manufacturer's instructions if one is supplied with your part.
