C7 Corvette Bilstein B6 4600 Heavy Duty Rear Shocks (2014-2019)

C7 Corvette Bilstein B6 4600 Heavy Duty Rear Shocks (2014–2019)

The Bilstein B6 4600 Heavy Duty Rear Shock Set (Part Number: 24-239417) is designed for the 2014–2019 C7 Corvette Stingray and Grand Sport to restore rear-end stability, improve ride control, and eliminate the softness common in worn factory dampers. This fits C7 models equipped with standard (non-electronic) suspension. Priced as a Pair (2 Rear Shocks)

If you’re wondering whether rear shocks actually affect ride quality and traction on a C7, the answer is yes. Rear dampers control squat, stability over bumps, and overall composure at speed. This is one of the best upgrades for C7 Corvette owners who want improved ride, comfort, and control without changing springs or ride height.

Product Details

Bilstein B6 4600 shocks use a monotube, gas-pressure design that reacts faster and manages heat better than basic twin-tube replacements. On the C7 platform, this translates to improved rear stability during acceleration, smoother response over uneven pavement, and consistent damping during long drives.

• Shock design: Monotube gas-pressure
• Series: Bilstein B6 4600 Heavy Duty
• Placement: Rear suspension
• Ride height intent: Stock suspension
• What it replaces: Factory rear shocks

Why Bilstein Leads

Bilstein’s monotube architecture is widely trusted for its durability and consistent damping characteristics. For daily-driven C7 Corvettes, the B6 series provides OEM-plus control—firmer and more stable than factory shocks, without the aggressive stiffness of track-focused setups.

Benefits

• Improved rear stability: Reduces bounce and float
• Better traction: Controls rear movement under acceleration
• Consistent damping: Fade-resistant monotube design
• Smoother ride quality: Refined response over rough roads
• OEM-plus feel: Balanced for everyday street use

What to Expect After Installation

Most owners immediately notice a more composed rear end. The car settles faster after bumps, feels more stable at highway speeds, and maintains better traction during spirited driving—without increasing harshness.

• Reduced rear-end bounce and instability
• Improved comfort on long drives
• No change to ride height or spring rate
