Tuner Gear: Bilstein Sport Shocks

bilstein_shocks For the enthusiast driver who demands superior handling, the Bilstein Sport shocks and struts deliver the highest levels of control. An excellent match for vehicles with lowering springs or upgraded anti-roll bars, the Sport Series shocks and struts perform under demanding conditions. Additional advantages, based on development strongly influenced by the motorsport industry, include greater stability, better road handling, and accurate steering.

This combined with extremely high quality manufacturing and materials, means Bilsteins will last approximately four times as long as Original Equipment. The piston head design allows independent tuning of the compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum ride comfort and performance without compromise. The product’s simple, yet exceptionally functional digressive design contributes to the extreme durability and long life of Bilstein Shock Absorbers.
