Bilstein shocks - the best mass-produced shocks available for our cars. If you need an economy shock, Bilstein is the right choice. They provide excellent road feel and vehicle control for both street and track. Their inverted design reduces un-sprung weight providing improved suspension responsiveness.

High pressure gas charge reduces foaming for consistent performance.

Bilstein shocks are available in three configurations: HD, Sport and RSR

HD shocks were a factory available performance upgrade on 911s and standard equipment on 911 turbos. They provide good ride quality and control for cars with stock torsion bars.

In-house services are available to upgrade, test, modify, and renew your HD shocks.

Sport shocks are a better match to cars with uprated torsion bars. Sports are valved about 20% firmer (rebound) than HD.

In-house services are available to upgrade, test, modify, and renew your Sport shocks.

Bilstein Sport rear shocks

RSR rear shocks provide a threaded-body solution for coilover conversions. RSR rear shocks are shorter than HD/Sport for better fit to lowered cars, and they have a monoball lower mount.

We highly recommend custom valving your RSR rear shocks as the standard valving is too soft. For more advanced threaded-body and valving alternatives, see Von Shocks.

RSR threaded body struts are available on our struts page.

In-house services are available to upgrade, test, modify, and renew your RSR shocks.
