Street Performance
Since our inception over 40 years ago, Bilstein has been a unique and driving force in the automotive suspension industry. From racing and testing in Formula 1, NASCAR, SCCA, Rally, and Off Road to original equipment on BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota and GM trucks, Bilstein Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers haven proven to be the best.
If you've never experienced the exhilaration you feel when driving a vehicle equipped with Bilstein Shocks, you're in for a pleasant surprise. You'll soon discover there is, quite literally, nothing like it. Unbelievable control. Precise handling. Ultimate performance. And incredible comfort.
Most conventional shocks are made with shock bodies cut from a piece of steel tubing, stamped internal parts and compromised tolerances.
In contrast, Bilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique seamless extrusion process. This provides superior strength along with high finish tolerances that are usually associated with surgical instruments. The finished body is then mated with a solid, induction hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined valving components and highest quality seals. Combined with extreme attention to detail, Bilstein provides you with the closest thing to a hand built shock available today.
Conventional shocks slowly lose efficiency and eventually fail over a period of time causing excessive tire and suspension wear. Bilstein Shocks continue to deliver optimum performance for life.
Of all your suspension components, nothing works harder than your shock absorbers, making it critical you pick the right ones for your vehicle. Bilstein Gas Pressure Shock Absorbers are the least expensive, fastest way to dramatically improve the ride, handling and control of your vehicle. Plus, with Bilstein's lifetime warranty, you may never have to purchase shock absorbers again.

BTS Kit - NEW Bilstein 5100 Coilover for Toyota Tundra
Thyssen Krupp Bilstein of America announces the new 5100 series coilover for the popular Toyota Tundra Pickups. These new shocks utilize technology developed through over 30 years of off-road racing victories.
In fact, more races have been won on Bilstein than on any other shock absorber. Featuring a ride height adjustable threaded body, vehicle specific split valving and Bilsteinšs patented high pressure gas monotube technology. The new shocks also incorporate a billet upper mount stem conversion which allows the use of eye to eye mounting. This allows the shock to articulate throughout the entire suspension travel without the spring bind associated with other designs.
The Bilstein coilover also uses OEM mounting bushings for long life and a Bilstein/Hyperco 2.5˛ progressive rate spring, and all spring mounting hardware. As with all 5100 series shocks it comes Zinc plated and has a lifetime aftermarket warranty.
Bilstein also offers the companion rear 5100 shocks with matched valving.
