Uncategorized Comments off 1005 Views0

Bilstein has developed the ultimate automotive performance suspension systems. To ensure maximum performance, these systems
utilize superior Bilstein mono-tube gas shocks, featuring the largest available piston diameter for greater sensitivity and precise control,
patented digressive piston head design, and defl ective disc valving that instantly reacts to changing road input. From street performance,
to competition ready, these suspension systems are available in three levels:

BTS – BILSTEIN TUNED SUSPENSION, is a high performance system with sport tuned mono-tube gas shocks and matched
lowering springs. The system includes 4 coil springs with performance directed spring rate and patented mono-tube gas pressure shock
absorbers.

PSS – PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION SYSTEM, is an ultra high performance ride height adjustable suspension system featuring
performance valved mono-tube gas shocks. The system includes coil-over and standard mono-tube gas shocks with performance level
valving along with application specifi c rate coil springs.

PSS9/PSS10 – PERFORMANCE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH 9/10 DAMPING ADJUSTMENTS, is the “race inspired” fully
adjustable ride height system featuring mono-tube gas shock absorbers with precise damping adjustments. The system includes
adjustable mono-tube gas shock absorbers with adjustable compression and rebound settings from comfort to competition, front and
rear application specifi c, progressive rate springs allow accurate adjustment of vehicle ride height and center of gravity for the level of
performance you seek.

ERC – ELECTRONIC RIDE CONTROL® SYSTEM, allows the driver to electronically select between a comfort oriented or a signifi cantly
fi rmer, aggressive performance damping mode with a simple push of the dash mounted button. The integrated control unit switches the
damping settings on all four shocks/struts in fractions of a second to deliver the handling characteristics you desire.

GETTING THE RIDE THAT IS RIGHT FOR YOU
Bilstein mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers are available in a wide variety of sizes and stiffness settings, depending upon the
vehicle type and use. All Bilstein shocks absorbers 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. Shock stiffness settings are divided into five usage categories shown below.

SPORT (S) – B8
For the performance-minded driver, Bilstein “Sport” shocks deliver absolute mastery of the road surface.
Designed to push a car’s suspension to its performance peak, these shocks are well suited for use with special springs, anti-sway
bars or other suspension upgrades.

HEAVY DUTY (HD) – B6
For most vehicles including full-size sedans, SUVs and trucks. These shocks provide improved handling and stability without
sacrifi cing ride comfort. They offer super damping ability that makes them ideal for heavy hauling for occasional off-road use, while
maintaining and exceptional “street” ride.

COMFORT (C) – B4
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 while increasing
road-handling and overall stability.

5100 SERIES
For specifi c manufactured lift kits utilizing the stock OEM mounting confi guration.
Self-adjusting defl ective disc valving, independent rebound and compression with superior control for larger diameter tires.

RALLE, RACE
For rigorous demands of driving competition. Their success should be measured by the unprecedented levels of acceptance
and use by professional drivers in virtually all major Motorsports.

Include such features as spherical bearings, adjustable spring seats longer or shorter than standard dimensions. *Not suited
for street use.

POWERSLOT
Excessive heat can cause resins in your brake pad to vaporize or "outgas." As the brake pad wears, the used friction material turns into a fine dust. This boundary layer of heat, gas and dust builds up between the pad and rotor surfaces and inhibits performance. Here’s where Power Slot’s slotted brake rotors make a big difference.

Power Slot’s exclusive Vac-U-Slots are machined into the rotor and help evacuate gasses and dust, shed heat, and keep the brake pad surface clean. And in wet, raining conditions, our Vac-U-Slot helps push water off the braking surface for better stopping power.

HAWK PERFORMANCE
Hawk Performance’s leading-edge brake friction technology is proven everyday in severe-duty aerospace, military, commercial truck fleet, motorsports and performance street brake applications. Put the power in the brake pedal and specify Hawk Performance disc brake pads.

FAQs

Uncategorized Comments off 894 Views0

Q. What brand should I get?
A. We sell all the quality brands so that ultimately leaves the choice to you. Our goal is to provide enough information for you to choose the optimum performing suspension parts for your driving needs. In general, you get what you pay for. On shocks/struts, the ability to adjust damping (stiffness) or ride height comes with a substantial additional price and you have to decide if you’ll be taking advantage of these features. On springs, lowering effects vary and you pay a little more for a progressive spring rate that gets stiffer as the suspension is compressed further.

Q. How far can I lower my car?
A. Most cars it’s 30mm to 50mm.(One to two inches). We only sell the most reputable manufacturers to ensure safe, reliable products that won’t damage other suspension components. Some manufacturers have listings for "race" springs which may be lower, harsher riding, and harder on the vehicles other components.

Q. Do I need camber kits if I lower my car?
A. Whenever you lower a car with shorter springs, it creates negative camber. This has some benefits for handling but can cause the tires to wear more towards the inside instead of right down the middle. Many cars do not have enough adjustment to return the camber to original factory specifications. On most cars, if the lowering effect is 25mm to 35mm, and you keep the tires well rotated, you should get the full life expectancy of the tires even with the negative camber. Otherwise camber adjustment kits can be purchased for many applications that make it possible to adjust the camber closer to the original specifications.
