BILSTEIN Early Porsche 911 B6 Sport Damper Upgrades (’72-90)
As you might imagine from one of Porsche’s most prolific OEM suppliers, BILSTEIN’s range of damper upgrades for ‘classic’ 911 models is rather extensive. Not only are all of the air-cooled models comprehensively covered, but three different damping rates are available on many models to allow owners to truly tailor (or tame!) the handling of their own car.
Although the 911 is famed for its handling prowess, BILSTEIN has used its enviable knowledge and experience to create the ultimate upgrade that maintains the character and comfort of the original car, but with a sharper focus on handling precision. BILSTEIN’s B6 Sport damper package helps to significantly enhance the dynamic abilities of the 911, working in perfect harmony with either the OEM torsion bars or springs – as well as any quality aftermarket offerings. With the factory units now doubtless very tired and performing below par, the B6 BILSTEIN Sport units will help to create a ‘better than new’ feel in ride and handling terms.
As the name suggests, the ‘Club Sport’ offers the most focused of upgrades, with damping rates aimed squarely at those who like to regularly venture out onto track. ‘Sportlich Strasse’ offers the perfect compromise for fast road driving and ‘Rallye 1000’ does exactly what it says on the box.
As well as providing the replacement and fitments for the many cars it originally supplied factory units for, owners of the Boge-equipped cars can also benefit from BILSTEIN technology thanks to upgrade inserts being available for these models. In short, there’s a fitment for every 911 model and application.
The BILSTEIN B6 range is designed for those looking for more damping capability, with improved handling and reduced squat and dive, without ruining everyday ride comfort. Using the very latest in BILSTEIN gas pressure technology and precision twin-tube construction, each unit is hand finished in BILSTEIN’s German factory to surpass even the most stringent of OEM production standards.
Offering significantly greater service life than the standard part, the BILSTEIN B6 dampers also increase active safety through more efficient braking and better traction. Ideal as service replacements, or the perfect way to improve a cherished car.
