►Bilstein has been a leader in suspension technology and design since their first damper was fitted to a Mercedes seventy years ago. In that time, they've supported Le Mans winners, damped the fastest cars in the world, and provided an expansive aftermarket for any vehicle owner chasing more performance. Each of their products is hand-assembled in a methodical process that ensures each damper, whether an OE-spec B4 unit or an electronically adjustable B16, is perfectly suited for consistent, world-class performance.
FCP Euro has a wonderful relationship with Bilstein, and on our last trip to Germany, we were invited to tour the facility and see how their world-famous yellow struts are made.
