Bilstein: Suspension Excellence for Perfect Road Holding

A finely tuned chassis and your whole car will thank you. Most drivers know it: having power is good, but sticking to the road is better! There is no point having 500 or 600 horsepower if your suspension cannot put the power down. At this level, some will opt for entry-level suspension to lower the ride height and thus the centre of gravity. The problem with this low-end suspension is that it makes your chassis a little too stiff, and the suspension no longer does its damping job, with a risk of lacking traction or losing grip in corners.

Bilstein: The Benchmark Tested by the Best Drivers

With the Bilstein brand, there is nothing to fear. These shock absorbers, springs and coilovers are designed and tested by renowned drivers such as Walter Röhrl on the Nürburgring. Bilstein equips numerous racing cars in DTM and BTCC, as well as very high-performance cars. Their commitment to supplying superior-quality suspension ensures that your vehicle benefits from maximum grip and exemplary road holding, whatever the conditions.

Did you know that a suspension is put under as much strain on one 20.832-kilometre lap of the Green Hell of the Nürburgring as by the daily Hamburg–Munich journey for a whole year! (778 km x 365 = 283'970 km). This comparison underlines the robustness and reliability of Bilstein suspension, able to withstand the most extreme conditions while delivering consistent performance.

Rigorous Testing for Unrivalled Quality

Some combinations are simply unbeatable. For example, a “genius on wheels” in the “grüne Hölle”: Walter Röhrl on the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring is the perfect combination for checking the durability of a suspension. This demanding test programme, carried out on the unforgiving Eifel roads by one of the best rally drivers of all time, quickly reveals whether a suspension is good or perfect. It is the minimum load prescribed by all our test engineers, whether on the Nürburgring or on the Papenburg test track.

Unrivalled Expertise for High-Performance Suspension

Bilstein knows that only perfection will satisfy you. That is why every suspension component undergoes rigorous testing under real and extreme conditions. The result? Suspension that not only improves your vehicle’s handling, but does so reliably and durably, even under the most severe stresses. Whether for everyday use or for competition, Bilstein offers a range of products that meets the needs of the most demanding drivers.

By choosing Bilstein, you opt for suspension that has proven itself on the toughest circuits in the world, giving your vehicle impeccable road holding and uncompromising performance.
