Bilstein revolutionized the shock industry with their monotube gas pressure shock absorber technology. And to this day, Bilstein shock absorbers lead the market.
Bilstein offers a number of gas shock absorbers, but also single and twin tube McPherson strut style suspensions that are equally impressive. No maximum load challenge goes unaccepted, thanks to specific design techniques that provide high durability.
But will they fit your vehicle? All Bilstein shocks and struts are built based on the individual fit and performance needs of a vehicle. Search by vehicle to see if they are a fit for yours. And with an excellent lifetime warranty, you can rest assured you'll experience continual satisfaction with the product.
Check out the
5100 Series Adjustable Shocks, or
search by vehicle to fine-tune your suspension.
The most integral part of your suspension system is, surprisingly, your shock absorbers. They adapt to the roads and your vehicle's weight, as they must be able to absorb every last pothole and bump your vehicle comes in contact with. But, did you know that some performance shocks are adjustable?
Adjustable shocks allow for a certain level of fine-tuning, which brings the vehicle to the ride comfort and handling preferences of the driver. It also allows the driver to adjust dampening, and that compensates for wear. (

I bought my 1997 Audi A4 with almost 100,000 miles on it. After replacing the wheels and tires I was shocked at how poor the ride and handling felt. The problem was the old suspension.
After updating to
Koni Sport Shocks and Eibach lowering springs, the car felt just like it should.
Noticeable differences :
- Reduced body roll when cornering
- Reduced pitch and dive when braking and accelerating
- A much more controlled ride
- Much improved cosmetic appearance from lowering
These changes made a night and day difference, and even though my car had very high mileage it felt like a new car.
