Bilstein

Bilstein Suspension:

In 1954 Bilstein had begun to revolutionise shock absorber technology. Thanks to a discovery made by French researcher, Prof. Bourcier de Carbon, Bilstein achieved their goal of eliminating the physical disadvantages of the conventional telescopic shock absorber as well as making the dampers lighter and more versatile. After a lengthy development stage and a considerable investment in the necessary production facilities, Bilstein introduced the very first monotube gas-pressure shock absorber in 1957, fitted to a Mercedes-Benz vehicle.

Bilstein has long been a partner to the automotive industry, sharing years’ worth of expertise with smaller auto businesses, from workshops to training centres to tuning specialists and dealers. For decades, the name Bilstein has been synonymous with outstanding driving dynamics, safety and comfort and this reputation will without a doubt stand for decades to come.

Ever since its introduction, the Bilstein’s monotube gas-pressure technology shock absorbers have found their way into the vehicles of countless car marques. From Bugatti to Porsche, Lamborghini to Subaru, there’s no mistaking why vehicle manufacturers place their trust in Bilstein when it comes to suspension. This is due in no small part to Bilstein’s ability to individually adjust suspension requirements and driving dynamic qualities to suit every model, whether it be for OEM replacement purposes or optimizing vehicle handling dynamics. Bilstein applies its high quality standards to all of its products and specially customises them to suit a range of applications from everyday driving to the race track and even tackling rough terrain.
