Bilstein Struts & Shocks Explained - Which Bilstein Model Is Right For You?
►Bilstein has been at the forefront of damper technology since it introduced the first monotube gas pressure shock absorber on a Mercedes-Benz series vehicle in 1957. Their revolutionary design spurred everything dampers have become, and their use on some of the world's most high-performance vehicles only speaks to their legitimacy. These days, Bilstein offers several kinds of damper for all sorts of applications.
Bilstein offers the B4, B6, and B8 variations on just about every sporty model. Vehicles designed strictly for comfort likely won't have a B8 option. The three variants offer different damping profiles, each specific to the chassis. The B4 serves as the OE damper, identical to what you'd find in the car out of the factory. The latter two offer increased firmness and an inverted design for better suspension control under hard cornering. They differ slightly from each other because the B8 is meant for shorter, aftermarket springs, while the B6 can be used with the OE units.
Choosing the right strut for your application can be tricky. Do you want the OE valving, or are you better suited with something stiffer for more spirited driving? Should you stick with the standard damper or go for an inverted one? And what's the difference? Well, ask no more, as FCP Euro's BMW Expert Gareth Foley is here to explain Bilstein's product offering to help you determine which is best for you.
