Key Motorsports Features

• Digressive Valving Technology – 5.5 Compression and 5.5 Rebound settings offer superior control at low piston speeds while allowing for compliance over high-speed impacts.
• High-Pressure Gas Monotube – Ensures consistent damping by preventing oil foaming (aeration), providing predictable handling from the first lap to the last.
• Convertible Design – The 36mm steel body can easily be converted to a full coilover setup with the appropriate Bilstein conversion kit (sold separately).
• Compact 7-Inch Stroke – Ideal for applications requiring a balance of significant travel and a compact installation footprint.
• Serviceable Construction – Designed for professional rebuilds and re-valving to adapt to changing track conditions or chassis setups.

Technical Specifications

Common Applications

This unit is highly versatile across professional racing platforms:

• Dirt Track Racing (Late Models, Modifieds, Stock Cars)
• Asphalt Short Track & Circle Track
• Off-Road Specialty Chassis (Check travel requirements)
• Custom Coilover Conversions

Installation & Setup Tip

For optimal racing performance:

1. Travel Check: Ensure that your suspension travel does not bottom out or top out the shock. This can cause internal damage not covered by warranty.
2. Mounting: Use high-quality 1/2" bolts and ensure the eyelets are properly aligned to prevent side-loading on the piston rod.
3. Coilover Conversion: If using as a coilover, ensure the spring rates are compatible with the 5.5/5.5 valving to prevent over-springing the damper.

Why Choose Bilstein G Series?

In competitive racing, consistency is everything. The Bilstein G Series is legendary for its ability to maintain its damping profile throughout a 50-lap feature, even in punishing heat. The lightweight steel body reduces unsprung weight, while the 36mm piston offers more precision than larger, bulkier dampers. It is a proven winner on dirt and asphalt ovals across the country.
