Description
Bilstein B8 5125 shock absorbers are designed for custom applications and are a perfect solution for vehicles that do not have a direct Bilstein fitment. These high gas pressure monotube shock absorbers are sold by various lengths and valve rates to accommodate a wide range of uses and custom fitments. All B8 5125 shock absorbers come equipped with industry standard 5/8 inch hour glass bushings and are available in either an eye/eye or stem/eye mount configuration. The shock absorbers feature a 46mm piston with self-adjusting deflective disc valving. Bilstein B8 5125 shock absorbers are the ideal choice for custom suspension builders.
Notes:

Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by Bilstein® has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.
Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the Bilstein® name, and we’re still responsible for producing the best there is. Bilsteins mono-tube technology is the number-one choice in motorsports and series-production sports cars: no other type gives engineers the same freedom to choose the perfect installation location or position (e.g. Upside-Down technology).
Road-Tested by Bilstein®. To achieve that celebrated Bilstein® driving experience, Bilstein’s engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of Bilstein’s high-performance absorbers, as well as Bilstein® sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing programme. On the Nürburgring and in Bilstein® own test centre at the Papenburg test track, Bilstein® drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this programme of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the Bilstein® name. This way, Bilstein® can guarantee that celebrated Bilstein’s driving experience.
