A company that has 10years of experience in serving an industry is considered good. Those with 20 are considered better than most. It's right around the 50-yearmark that a brand proves itself to set the standard of what makes a good product. So, what about those who have been at it for 150 years?Well, it's probably safe to say that it pretty much establishes itself as the best in the business. Bilstein is among the few that can wear that badge of honor.

Believe it or not, Bilstein’s beginnings didn't encompass shock absorbers in any capacity. Instead, its claim to fame was its metal window fittings, and the company's original name was AUBI —an abbreviation for the founder's, Augustus Bilstein's, name. As with any great German company, the focus on quality was above and beyond standard expectations. This devotion set the stage for numerous technical innovations, including new methods of nickel and chrome plating, the first functional side-car jack, and of course, revolutionary shock absorber technology.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Today, Bilstein is trusted by OEMs, motorsport champions, and everyday drivers –proving that sometimes you canplease everybody. The company continues to evolve its product line to ensure Bilstein shock absorbers do more than just dampen spring rates. Whenever a vehicle rolls into a turn, hits the brakes, accelerates, or motors along, shocks are hard at work. That’s why it’s important to have the best possible option in all four corners, and it’s safe to say that’s what Bilstein brings to the table.
