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.

 

Bilstein 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.

 

Bilstein 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.

 

Bilstein B10 PowerKit
The V formation suspension from Bilstein.

This System is characterised by excellent driving dynamics and an aggressive car design. The shortened shock absorbers are optimally tuned in elaborated road tests for the 60/40 lowering springs. High-strength, prorgressive Springs and shock absorbers with degressive characterisation in O.E. quality come into operation.

The Power kit is unbeatable in the cost/performance ratio.

 

B12 BTK
Four high-performance shock absorbers with springs from a single source. Optimally tuned in road tests, and available at a favourable package price.

Power Pack
The formula for pure driving enjoyment is very simple: 4 x B8 Sprint + 4 x springs = the BILSTEIN B12 Tuning Kit. Highly efficient shock absorbers and springs from a single source, optimally tuned in road tests, first-class BILSTEIN quality: and all this at an unbeatable package price.

 

B14 PSS
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.

Bilstein 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.

 

Bilstein 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.

 

Bilstein 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.

 

Bilstein 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.
