Bilstein suspension

Control, driving enjoyment, sport and comfort
High speed, rapid lane changing, ride comfort, handling, vehicle balance, traction…
Those are the major aspects where advanced suspension technology makes its mark. Regardless of whether the production suspension is optimized by introducing a BILSTEIN shock absorber or by fitting a BILSTEIN sports suspension, BILSTEIN stands for optimal solutions in all fields, the ideal setting with comfort & sports.

  

Shock & Spring Systems

Evolving from a history of worldwide racing dominance, Bilstein has developed the ultimate automotive performance suspension systems. To insure maximum performance, these systems utilize Bilstein’s superior monotube gas shocks, featuring:

Largest available piston diameter for greater sensitivity and precise control.
Patented digressive piston head design and deflective valving instantly reacts to changing road conditions.
Monotube design dissipates heat more effectively than a twin tube shock for cooler, more efficient operation and longer life.
Lighter weight reduces wear and tear on suspension components.

 

Bilstein B12 – BTS Tuning System
The Bilstein BTS suspension components provide a dramatic increase in your vehicle’s performance handling characteristics. The BTS consists of 4 coil springs with a performance directed spring rate and Bilstein’s patented monotube gas pressure shock absorbers.

The sport level valving is specially tuned for your specific vehicle. The Bilstein B12 BTS system provides a lower stance and firmer ride for better road handling and control. This is the most economical way to vastly improve your car’s performance and appearance.

Bilstein B14 – PSS System
The Bilstein B14 PSS Suspension allows you to adjust your vehicle’s ride height without the expense of the fully adjustable damping system.

This system features both coilover and standard monotube gas pressure shocks with performance level valving along with application specific, progressive rate coil springs. The PSS system lets you set your car low and tight for optimum performance or back to a more stock like ride height and handling characteristics. Ride height adjustments can be made on the vehicle without removing the suspension. The solid aluminum spring seat and lock nut allows a selective adjustment of the vehicle’s ride height. Spring travel and vehicle body height change, but the spring seat remains pre-loaded throughout the allowable range of adjustment.

Bilstein B16 – PSS 9/10 System
This “race inspired” system provides the ultimate in high performance tuning. The manually adjustable damping monotube gas shock absorbers feature 9 or 10-stage precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The threaded body allows accurate adjustability of the front and rear progressive rate springs to achieve the vehicle ride height, center of gravity and level of performance handling desired.

The Bilstein B16 system puts you in complete control, providing the kind of precise suspension tuning formerly available only on race cars. From a weekend of cempetition to daily driving, this system provides perfect handling performance for every situation.

Bilstein Electronic ridecontrol®
This system allows the driver to electronically select between a comfort oriented or a significantly firmer, aggressive performance damping mode with a simple push of the dash mounted button. The integrated control unit switches the damping settings on all four shocks/struts in fractions of a second to deliver the handling characteristics you desire.
