Questions

BILSTEIN, answered

The questions our support team gets asked most about BILSTEIN.

Visit our Help Center
Who makes Bilstein shocks?
Bilstein shocks are made by thyssenkrupp Bilstein, a German manufacturer founded in 1873 in Ennepetal, Germany. North American operations run from BILSTEIN of America in Hamilton, Ohio. Bilstein invented the monotube gas-pressure shock absorber and supplies OE dampers to many premium automakers.
What warranty do Bilstein shocks carry?
Most Bilstein street and truck lines (B4, B6, B8 including 5100/6112, B12 kits, control arms) carry a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser. B14/B16 coilovers and EVO lines carry 5 years; certain OE-replacement and ZoneControl products carry 2 years; motorsport series carry 90 days. Products must come from an authorized North American distributor.
Are Bilstein shocks better than OEM?
Bilstein IS the OEM on many premium vehicles - Mercedes, Porsche, and others ship from the factory with Bilstein dampers. Aftermarket B4 series matches OE specification exactly, while B6 and B8 series use Bilstein's monotube gas-pressure technology to deliver noticeably firmer, better-controlled handling than worn or standard OE parts.
Which Bilstein series should I choose?
B4 is the OE-replacement choice for restoring factory ride. B6 upgrades damping for heavier loads or sportier street driving. B8 pairs with lowering springs or lift kits - the B8 5100 line is the go-to for lifted trucks. B12 kits bundle springs and dampers, and B14/B16 are full coilover systems with height adjustment.
Where are Bilstein shocks made?
Bilstein dampers are engineered in Germany and manufactured in Bilstein's own plants, including Ennepetal and Mandern in Germany, Hamilton, Ohio in the USA, and other thyssenkrupp Bilstein facilities - all to the same German OE quality standards.
