| Since
our inception over 40 years ago Bilstein has been a unique and driving
force in the |
|
automotive suspension industry. From racing and testing in Formula
1, NASCAR, SCCA, |
| Rally,
and Off Road to original equipment on BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz,
Porsche, |
|
Subaru, Toyota and GM trucks, Bilstein Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers have
proven to be |
| the
best. |
|
| If
you've never experienced the exhilaration you feel when you driving a
vehicle equipped with |
|
Bilstein Shocks, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You'll soon discover
there is, quite literally, |
|
nothing like it. Unbelievable control, Precise handling. Ultimate
performance. And incredible |
|
comfort. |
|
|
Better Built |
| Most
conventional shocks are made with shock bodies cut from a piece of steel
tubing, stamped |
|
internal parts and compromised tolerances. |
|
| In
contrast, Bilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique
seamless extrusion |
|
process. This provides superior strength along with high finish tolerances
that are usually |
|
associated with surgical instruments. The finished body is then mated with
a solid, induction |
|
hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined valving
components and highest |
|
quality seals. Combined with extreme attention to detail, Bilstein
provides you with the closest |
| thing
to a hand built shock available today. |
| |
|
Better by Design |
| Heat
is one of the major detriments to the performance and longevity of any
shock absorber. |
|
Conventional designed shocks trap the heat within the shock body and do
not let it adequately |
|
dissipate, making them prone to heat build up, fade and eventual failure. |
| |
|
Bilstein's technically superior, patented monotube gas charged design
allows the excessive heat |
| from
the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate
more efficiently. The |
|
dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing
aeration (foaming) and |
|
viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping
characteristics as temperature rise. |
| |
| The
Right Shock for Your Specific Application |
| Unlike
other manufactures who provide a minimum selection of shocks to cover a
broad range |
| of
applications, Bilstein Shocks are built for each specific application.
Luxury car, Sports car, |
| Sport
Utility, Pickup or Motorhomes, Bilstein engineers take into account
everything from |
|
external dimensions, internal valving, mounting hardware to the weight and
type of vehicle. In fact, |
|
depending on your driving style, in some cases Bilstein offers a choice of
shocks to satisfy your |
|
individual performance preferences. |
| |
|
Safer Driving Through Superior Control |
| Ride,
handling and control are what a shock absorber provides. Compromise in one
area may |
| create
a problem in another. Bilstein's patented design eliminates any
compromise. The rising |
| rate
valving of the Bilstein Shock provides the necessary damping to react
quicker to road |
|
conditions without sacrificing ride control. This combination of
valving and high pressure nitrogen |
| gas
keeps your tires in constant contact with the road helping to ensure
safety through enhanced |
|
control. |
| |
|
Your Best Value...for a Lifetime |
| Of all
your suspension components, nothing works harder than your shock
absorbers, making it |
|
critical you pick the right ones for your vehicle. Bilstein Gas
Pressurized Shock Absorbers are |
| the
least expensive, fastest way, to dramatically improve the ride, handling
and control of your |
| vehicle. Plus, with Bilstein's lifetime warranty, you may never
have to purchase shock absorbers |
| again. |
