About Bilstein B6

Bilstein has been making monotube gas-pressure shocks for more than 60 years, with extensive OEM and motorsport history. The B6 series gives the Bay Window Bus firmer damping than the original twin-tube design without changing ride height — a meaningful improvement on a vehicle that benefits from any chassis tightening it can get.
