Why aren BILSTEINS adjustable?
A BILSTEIN doesn’t need adjustment to compensate for wear or for varying surfaces. The shock responds instantaneously to the speed of suspension movement to provide the exact damping characteristics required for maximum control, safety and performance. As the terrain or road surface becomes rougher-the speed at which the piston rod travels increases. The working piston is velocity sensitive, so that as the piston velocity increases, the shock internally and automatically becomes stiffer. A BILSTEIN works with the road surface to provide the exact valving requires. Conventional shock operate at one setting and require manual adjustment if any adjustment feature is available.
