THE TRUTH ABOUT BILSTEIN SUSPENSION

[@yannickfranz5561]

You called for the Germans and here I am. Its pronounced Bilstein. Easy as that. Bil, like everbody know how to pronounce Bil and then ST AHHH II NN. Easy as that.

[@wakter96]

I'm also german and it grinds my gears how American's pronounce it 🙄

[@stink420]

I'm an American that speaks German and lives around people that consistently butcher pronunciation. It hurts my earrrrs.

[@Catalina._]

Bilstein is just Tein with expensive Bills.

[@hussammustafa5267]

The irony is that the German language is extremely easy to read/pronounce. There are about 10 rules and a few weird vocals and no exceptions.

[@worldpeace8824]

Rx7 FD3S Type RS-R 30th Anniversary Special Edition. Came from factory with BILSTEIN suspension! To put a German suspension in a JDM Special Edition car means that BILSTEIN is indeed top of the line!

still think brakes would be a great addition to not only this series...but the website as well...sure you can look cool and go around corners fast...but its that damn thing called stopping that keeps getting in the way of all the fun when you run your $4k wheels, $3k suspension, and $1500 in tires off the road/track because you still had stock brakes...

[@TheMuddman74]

@@Bloodymononoke39 they are the best shocks I've ever put on a classic but to be fair ive never tried the QA1 stuff and I hear they make an absolutely great product as well. Interesting side note, I managed the service center at Motorcar Studio in Atlanta (worth googling) and we handled a lot of classic Porsches as well as a wide variety of classics, vintage race cars. I was introduced to the quality of Bilsteins because a lot of the Porsches were fitted with them. I decided to try to mix a little German engineering with American muscle to outfit my '74 Duster for "underground" cannonball runs. I was happy about my choice of shocks to say the least. To be fair tho, I am running a super unique heavily modified torsion bar setup that takes corners flat at 100mph. My setup is not only stiff but it is wildly different than what most racers would do (coil-overs/mustang II clip)
