The
name of Bilstein has been synonymous with top quality and high
performance in the fields of motor sports and production vehicles
for years.
It was Bilstein who revolutionised damping technology
by introducing the first series production mono- tube gas pressure
shock absorber featuring excellent ride comfort and safety |

O.E. REPLACEMENTS

| Bilstein
B1 Service Parts |
Just
in Black
The service parts consist of two bump stops and two dirt shields. It is imperative
in cases where these parts are fitted as standard that they are also exchanged
when replacing the shock absorbers. In keeping with our high standards, only
parts of O.E. quality are fitted.

B2 Oil |
Black
is beautiful
Sometimes it's necessary to take your foot of the accelerator to master a particular
driving situation. The BILSTEIN B2 oil shock absorber is a favourably priced
alternative for timely repair of vehicles at the highest quality level.
Its also
worthwhile investing in the black shock as a replacement on vehicles supplied
with oil shock absorbers ex factory.

B4 Gas |
The
O.E. quality replacement shock absorber.
Original Black The original beats all the copies. And as the
inventors of the first series production mono-tube gas pressure
shock absorber based on the de Carbon principle we've been
supplying the original since 1954. The know-how and the innovative
ability we consistently invest in this product gives the "all-blacks" from
BILSTEIN that added quality.
And it's also this extra quality
that boosts safety when braking, load changing, or when travelling
on poor roads etc. The B4 gas gives us the opportunity of offering
an O.E. quality replacement part for virtually every car on
the market.

TUNING PRODUCTS

| B6
Sports |
The
shock absorber for those drivers who prefer a sports suspension
but are not particularly interested in lowering the body. Also
available in special design complete with reservoir for off-road
vehicles.
No risk, more fun
For some people it's important to show what they have, for others it's sufficient
to know that they have it. The theme of the discussion here is the sports suspension.
The BILSTEIN B6 Sports shock absorber is the ideal solution for drivers revelling
in the understatement . The wolf in sheep's clothing snarls, when necessary,
but otherwise goes reliably about its work in daily traffic with no lowering
of the body whatsoever.
Optimum road holding, enhanced tracking stabilisation and excellent damping force:
the BILSTEIN B6 Sports is not only first choice as far as sports tuning is concerned
but also in the sphere of safety.

| B8
Sprint |
The
shortened, high-performance shock absorber for lowered sports
cars.
Try hard
Lower doesn't automatically mean better. Not the appearance of the car determines
its quality but the optimal tuning of suspension, springs and shock absorbers.
With this in mind BILSTEIN has specially developed the B8 Sprint for cars with
lowered bodies.
The shortened version represents the ideal pendant to suspension optimisation
for nearly all sets of springs. Fast track changing at high speed, gobbling up
uneven road surfaces, ironing out cross washboard surfaces ...The BILSTEIN B8
Sprint not only let's you look good but, above all, it gives you an excellent
ride.

Suspension
with variable height adjustment for better looks, and enhanced
technical features.
Deep Love
For the guy wanting to enter into a deep relationship with his car, the BILSTEIN
B14 height-adjustable suspension simply can't be overlooked. The system not only
enhances appearance but significantly improves handling performance into the
bargain.

| B16
PSS9 |
The
height and force adjustable suspension for maximum vehicle
control, especially when driving on the limits.
Masterly Control!
It's fabulous, the car reacts to the slightest steering movement. Man and machine
mould into one. Absolute control over the car means you are driving in a new
dimension, in a different world. The "Nordschleife" of the Nürburgring
flashes past. Personal lap record. The adrenaline surges - what a day ! The technology:
the threaded height adjustment feature allows body height and vehicle balance
to be adapted to individual needs.
Nine damping force settings are precision adjusted on the compression and rebound
strokes to give perfect set-up. Just a few turns of the hand to effect all adjustments
with the suspension fitted to the vehicle. BILSTEIN racing technology for the
road.

101/04 - Bilstein shock absorbers for German touring car championship
(DTM) Season 2004 |
The
thoroughgoing enhancement of last year's model has been optimized
with emphasis on response behaviour, handling and weight. For
the first time a system with independent adjustment on the
compression and rebound stroke and a piston rod with only 11mm
diameter are applied. Because of these and other features it
was possible to cut heaviness under 600g.
In fight for all-dominant hundredth and tenth of a second the race
drivers of HWA Mercedes rely on an integrative blow-off system,
which allows driving aggressively over curbs.

102/04 - Bilstein shock absorbers for Formula 3 Euro Series |
The
extreme performance density of this offspring series which
is reckoned as a stepping stone for the formula 1, demands
in all areas maximum effort and performance; espacially in
the field of suspension systems.
An accurate setting for the 550 kg lightweight racers decides on victory or defeat.
The aluminum shock absorber which is adjustable in damping force on compression
and rebound strokes is a perfect instrument for the vehicle engineers.

100/03 - Bilstein shock absorbers for German touring car championship
(DTM) Season 2003 |
Nine
victories in ten events to triumph in the overall constructors'
and team placings - can a product for premium motor sports
demonstrate its performance more impressive?
Due to a two way adjustment system, an optional blow-off system and a modular
design the BS 100/03 is the perfect choice for all demands.

B16 PSS9 / 2-ways / 3-ways - Bilstein shock absorbers for long-range
races, club sports and private drivers |
The
motor sports' request for a suspension system that allows finding
an optimal setting for racetracks with varying demands prompted
Bilstein already 30 years ago to develop coil-over suspension
systems. With the B14 PSS and the B16 PSS9 Bilstein's engineers
created a new performance standard.
The Upside-Down design
- based on the mono-tube gas pressure technology - are applied
in countless motor sports application areas (e.g. 24 hours
of Nurburgring or the BF-Goodrich touring car series). The
vehicle's height can be varied (at a lowering of 50 mm) by
approx. 20 mm. In addition, with a thumb wheel on each shock
absorber it is also possible to set nine different compression
and rebound characteristics parallel in the built-in state
(only B16 PSS9). With the combination of height and parallel
damping force adjustment each driver finds his perfect setting
for all situations.
Alternative to the parallel adjustment of compression and rebound level it is
also possible to deliver these systems with 2- or 3-ways technology.
