BILSTEIN B3 SPRINGS (AIRMATIC) FRONT SKODA OCTAVIA 1Z3 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, to this day, they remain leaders 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, from those intended for personal use to those custom-designed 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 fun desired by those looking to enjoy a more sporty driving experience.
