Description
Bilstein EM46 Series shock absorbers are emulsion dampers that feature an all-steel smooth body construction and 46mm piston for motorsports applications. The shock absorbers also include a large 22mm shaft, severe duty 3 stage high temperature rod seal and can convert to coilover usage (kit sold separately). EM46 Series shock absorbers are ideal for racers looking for a rebuildable shock with the ability to create and fine tune spring rate as a replacement or supplement for suspension springs.
Notes:
- It’s recommended to replace shock or strut in pairs (passenger and driver side at the same time).
Features:
- Monotube gas pressure construction
- Plated for durability and rapid heat dissipation
- Bilstein’s famous consistent, fade-free performance
- Available 4-Bar Dirt Modified Race Shock Kit Packages includes shocks, instructions and recommended set-ups
- Applications: Modifieds, Late Models and Stock Cars/Hobby Stocks
Gas Pressure Technology. Over time, the mono-tube gas pressure technology developed by BILSTEIN has established itself as a standard in automotive construction. This technology involves keeping the oil in the absorber under pressure, which prevents it from foaming when temperatures and loads are increasing. As a result, full damping power is retained even when the system is placed under extreme stress, a feature that can be observed in the self-lowering piston.
Mono-tube Upside-Down Technology. The original and best: The original mono-tube gas pressure shock absorbers bore the BILSTEIN name, and we’re still responsible for producing the best there is. Bilstein’s mono-tube technology is the number-one choice in motorsports and series-production sports cars: no other type gives engineers the same freedom to choose the perfect installation location or position (e.g. Upside-Down technology).
Road-Tested by Bilstein. To achieve that celebrated BILSTEIN driving experience, BILSTEIN engineers rely on not only technology that is truly at the cutting edge, but also something that has withstood the test of time: how it feels to the driver. As a result, all of Bilstein high-performance absorbers, as well as Bilstein sport suspensions and threaded ride height adjustable kits, undergo a rigorous testing programme. On the Nürburgring and in Bilstein own test centre at the Papenburg test track, Bilstein drivers test how balanced the driving characteristics of various vehicles are in a variety of different driving situations. Only when they have passed this programme of tests with distinction are they allowed to bear the BILSTEIN name. This way, Bilstein can guarantee that celebrated BILSTEIN driving experience.
