Trying to choose the right shocks or struts for your vehicle can be very confusing. On this page we've brought together all the different settings from
Bilstein, Edelbrock and Koni to help you select which products will provide the ride and handling you desire.
| Bilstein Settings: |
|
"COMFORT" SETTING
|
|
 | For the driver who wants maximum ride comfort,
with the virtual elimination of "bottoming out" and vehicle sway. |  | These shocks generally maintain and, in many cases, enhance a vehicle's original ride qualities and, at the same time, increase roadholding and
overall vehicle stability. |
|
|
|
"SPORT"
SETTING
|
|
 | For the performance minded driver, Bilstein "Sport" shocks
deliver absolute mastery of the mad surface. |  | Designed to push a car's suspension to its performance peak, these
super-firm shocks are well suited for use with special springs, anti-sway
bars or other suspension upgrades. |  | As with other Bilstein shocks, "Sport" shocks are uniquely self-adjusting. |
|
|
|
"HEAVY DUTY"
SETTING
|
 |
 | For most vehicles including full-size
sedans, wagons and most trucks, these shocks provide improved handling
and stability without sacrificing ride comfort. |  | Their superior damping ability makes them ideal for heavy hauling
or occasional off road use --- while still maintaining an exceptional "street"
ride. |  | As with all Bilstein shocks, these shocks instantaneously self-adjust
to changing road surfaces. In addition, their performance does not gradually
decline from age, use or heat --- requiring no compensating manual adjustments
as with conventional multi-tube shocks. |
|
|
|
"RALLYE"
& "RACE" SETTINGS
|
 |
 | Bilstein shocks designated "Rallye" or "Race" are specifically
set to meet the rigorous demands of driving competition. |  | Their success
should be measured by the unprecedented levels of accceptance and use by
professional drivers in virtually all major motorsports. |  | "Rallye" or "Race" shocks may include such features as spherical bearings and adjustable spring seats longer or shorter than standard dimensions. They are usually not suited for street use. |
|
|
|
|
"TOURING CLASS"
|
 |
 | Touring Class shocks and struts feature the same German engineering and quality as the world famous Bilstein Monotube Gas Pressure Shock - but in a new, competitively priced twin-tube design.
|  | Bilstein econoTC shocks and struts provide premium ride comfort and control characteristics, and meet or exceed original equipment specifications. |
