BILSTEIN B3 SPRINGS (AIRMATIC) FRONT OPEL ANTARA CHEVROLET CAPTIVA V V B3

Bilstein shock absorbers, the original before any copy. The first gas pressure monotube shock absorbers were created by Henry Bilstein in 1954 and, today, they continue to lead in quality and performance. Their main advantage was that the oil was under pressure, thus inhibiting foaming when temperature and load increased. The first brand to install Bilstein shock absorbers was Mercedes-Benz, but by the 1960s they became the reference shock absorbers in Formula 1 used by brands like Porsche and McLaren. During the 1990s, Bilstein developed the first semi-active and active damping systems with electronic control, and in 2004, the innovative DampMatic for Mercedes-Benz and DampTronic for Porsche. The most renowned car brands in the world trust the innovation and quality of Bilstein suspensions for mass production. Bilstein offers a wide range of shock absorbers that cater to everything from personal use to custom-designed solutions for high-end and competition vehicles. It is a brand that adapts to all budgets and expectations, from the safety sought by an everyday driver to the enjoyment desired by those looking for a more sporty driving experience.
