Fade-free performance is achieved by using high gas pressure, monotube design with a large diameter shock body. The HD Series is ideal for heavy hauling and occasional off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThe Bilstein Principle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eAll Bilstein gas pressure struts\/inserts and gas pressure shock absorbers operate on the same principle. They are manufactured with the rod pointing down into the strut tube, thereby utilizing the thicker, stouter body portion of the shock absorber to dissipate side loads. Consequently, due to the increased diameter and surface of the pressure tube, the Bilstein gas pressure strut\/insert or shock is better suited to take increased side loads when compared with the conventional version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eAdditional advantages, based on development strongly influenced by the motorsport industry, include greater stability, better road handling, and accurate steering. This combined with extremely high quality manufacturing and materials, means Bilsteins will last approximately four times as long as Original Equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBattling Heat Build Up\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eConventional shocks trap the heat within the shock body and prevent adequate dissipation, making them prone to heat build up, fade and eventual failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eBilstein's patented design allows the excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping characteristics as temperatures rise.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eThe tube of a Bilstein gas pressure shock or strut is fabricated using a special extrusion method. This process achieves an extremely tight peak-to-valley tolerance and maintains consistent wall thickness. Bilstein's seamless monotube design provides superior tube strength while maximizing heat dissipation and shock life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eRide Comfort and Performance Without Compromise\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eThe piston head design allows independent tuning of the compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum ride comfort and performance without compromise. It features fewer parts than most conventional designs. The product's simple, yet exceptionally functional digressive design contributes to the extreme durability and long life of Bilstein Shock Absorbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eBetter Built\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eBilstein's shock bodies are precision formed through a unique seamless extrusion process. This provides superior strength along with high finish tolerances. The shock body is then treated with a special paint finish durable enough to withstand grueling 240-hour salt spray tests. The finished body is mated with a solid, induction-hardened steel chrome plated and polished shaft, machined valving components and highest quality seals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eBilstein products are backed by an aftermarket lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePriced per pair.\u003c\/p\u003eAudi\tA3\tAll\tAll\nVolkswagen\tGolf V\tAll\tAll\nVolkswagen\tGolf VI\tAll\tAll\nVolkswagen\tJetta V\tAll\tAll\nVolkswagen\tJetta VI\tSedan\tGLI\nVolkswagen\tJetta VI\tSportwagen\tAll\nVolkswagen\tR32 MKV\tAll\tAll","brand":"Bilstein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038930182306,"sku":"35-108191_qty2","price":731.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0527\/9953\/7314\/products\/35-044086_qty2_0a4159f5-3224-4b0f-aba0-9303fee75b1e.jpg?v=1633734363","url":"https:\/\/broxtuning.ca\/products\/bilstein-b8-sport-struts-front-pair-mk5-mk6","provider":"Brox Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
