Of all a vehicle's suspension components, nothing works harder than the shock absorbers, making it critical to pick the right one. Bilstein Shock Absorbers are the least expensive, fastest way, to dramatically improve the ride, handling and control of a vehicle.

Digressive Working Piston Assembly

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 twin tube and so call "adjustable" shock designs. This simple, yet exceptional functional digressive design contributes to the extreme durability and long life of Bilstein Shock Absorbers.

    I have these on my 68 Mustang. They replaced a 3 year old set of KYB-GR2's. The Bilsteins have a larger shaft, a much larger body. The Bilsteins are a much better shock. The Sport valving is a perfect match for my 600 lbs front springs. The ride on the street is not harsh or rough at all. Very smooth ride. I haven't had a chance to take them on the track, but based off how they behave on the street it should be a good match.

    Today I installed the Bilstein sport shocks that I bought from Street or Track .

    All I can say is where have these shocks been all my life. I drove my car on Sunday and thought how much I hated the way it rode and handled. These shocks changed the car completely. The ride is still firm but it is not bone jarring and the car handles better. I could not be happier.

    This is one of the best mods I have made to my car.
