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.

From Bugatti to Porsche, Lamborghini to Subaru, there’s no mistaking why vehicle manufacturers place their trust in Bilstein when it comes to suspension.
