• Designed for lowering springs
• Sporty handling
• Optimised vehicle control

Bilstein B8 Sprint Dampers are specially designed to be used with lowered and uprated springs on lowered vehicles. They are the perfect solution for anyone that wants increased handling capabilities and a sports suspension set up. The shortened dampers provide the optimal balance when combined with lowered sports springs. The legendary Bilstein damping smoothes out bumps for an excellent ride, but gives excellent high speed road holding.

The monotube design offers greater piston rod area for smoother, more controlled damping. Monotube dampers are much more resistant to heat fade which makes them ideal for extended hard use.

While these are likely to be firmer than your original equipment shock absorbers, the monotube design means they stay smooth and controlled. Fitting firmer shock absorbers with lowering springs actually gives you a smoother ride, as the rebound is better controlled. The car should be much less busy at low speed than it would be with standard dampers combined with lowering springs.

In order to better match lowering springs, these have a shorter travel than B6s to better match stiffer, lower springs. It also means they aren't wearing out too quickly because they are never fully extended.

The Bilstein B8 damper is the perfect choice for those wanting the highest performance, lowered suspension.

For some vehicles an insert style damper rather than a complete strut will be supplied.

On a small number of vehicles, where required, an uprated twin-tube damper is supplied. These will be uprated to match the monotube units.
