Bilstein Shocks Car Set. Heavy Duty, For C5 and C6 Corvette
Note 1: INCLUDES 2 FRONT & 2 REAR.
For the enthusiast driver who demands superior handling, the
Bilstein Sport shocks and struts deliver the highest levels of
control. An excellent match for vehicles with lowering springs or
upgraded anti-roll bars, the Sport Series shocks and struts perform
under demanding conditions.
The Bilstein Principle
All Bilstein gas pressure struts/inserts and gas pressure shock
absorbers operate on the same principle. They are manufactured with
the rod pointing down into the strut tube, thereby utilizing the
thicker, stouter body portion of the shock absorber to dissipate
side loads. Consequently, due to the increased diameter and surface
of the pressure tube, the Bilstein gas pressure strut/insert or
shock is better suited to take increased side loads when compared
with the conventional version.
Additional advantages, based on development strongly influenced
by the motorsport industry, include greater stability, better road
handling, and accurate steering. This combined with extremely high
quality manufacturing and materials, means Bilsteins will last
approximately four times as long as Original Equipment.
Battling Heat Build Up
Conventional shocks trap the heat within the shock body and
prevent adequate dissipation, making them prone to heat build up,
fade and eventual failure.
Bilstein's patented design allows the excessive heat from the
oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and
dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the
oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and
viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping
characteristics as temperatures rise.
The tube of a Bilstein gas pressure shock or strut is fabricated
using a special extrusion method. This process achieves an
extremely tight peak-to-valley tolerance and maintains consistent
wall thickness. Bilstein's seamless monotube design provides
superior tube strength while maximizing heat dissipation and shock
life.
Ride Comfort and Performance Without Compromise
The piston head design allows independent tuning of the
compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum ride
comfort and performance without compromise. It features fewer parts
than most conventional designs. The product's simple, yet
exceptionally functional digressive design contributes to the
extreme durability and long life of Bilstein Shock Absorbers.
Better Built
Bilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique
seamless extrusion process. This provides superior strength along
with high finish tolerances. The shock body is then treated with a
special paint finish durable enough to withstand grueling 240-hour
salt spray tests. The finished body is mated with a solid,
induction-hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined
valving components and highest quality seals.
Bilstein products are backed by an aftermarket lifetime
warranty.
