Bilstein B4 R.Front DampMatic® shock absorber MB C-Class W205 4×4 Basis DM2 VR

Bilstein's range here is suspension from standard replacement upwards, organised by the maker's B numbers. B4 OE Replacement dampers are the largest group, B6 Performance and B8 Performance Plus are the sportier dampers, and B3 OE Replacement springs cover the spring side at original height. B12 Pro-Kit and Sportline kits pair dampers with lowering springs. The coilovers run through B14 PSS, B16 PSS9 and PSS10 and the EVO S, SE, T1, T2 and R lines, some adjustable for height and damping. DampMatic self-adjusting dampers, DampTronic electronic versions and steering dampers complete the range.

The range is listed for a wide spread of cars, led by BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz, followed by Ford, Volkswagen, Opel, Citroën and Renault. The BMW 3 Series (E36, E46 and E90), Audi A3 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class (W205) are among the models with the most listings.

Elsewhere in the Shock Absorbers section you will find rebound-adjustable dampers. Bilstein's dampers are mostly non-adjustable gas-pressure units, so the choice is made by picking the line, from OE replacement to performance, rather than by turning an adjuster.
