Description
Bilstein B8 8125 coilovers are engineered for the serious off-road enthusiast, available in both 46mm (2 inch) and 60mm (2.65 inch) sizes. Designed for use with dual-rate springs and available in a wide range of travel lengths, these performance coilovers are perfect for custom coilover suspension applications. Equipped with a competition designed, 3-stage seal pack, these coilovers withstand the harshest off-road environments. All B8 8125 coilovers include a 22mm hard chromed, case hardened piston rod which provides exceptional tensile strength and resistance to sand blasting and rock chipping. Incorporated remote reservoir combined with a high-temp hose provides consistent fade free performance under conditions of intense heat. The zinc coated threaded body allows for quick ride height adjustments and spring changes. Bilstein B8 8125 coilovers are completely owner rebuildable with replacement parts available from Bilstein. All components are machined to precise tolerances and made in the USA to insure high quality.
Notes:
- It’s recommended to replace shock or strut in pairs (passenger and driver side at the same time).
Features:
- Threaded body with dual rate coilover hardware
- Monotube design for fade-free performance
- Remote reservoir for improved heat dissipation
- High temperature seal extends life of shock
- 22mm case hardened piston rod provides brute tensile strength while resisting sand blasting and rock chipping
- Zinc plated to withstand harsh off-road elements
- High temperature, size -8 hose
- Owner rebuildable
- Industry standard 5/8” bearing
- All components are billet machined
- The 8125 Series uses industry standard coilover springs – 60mm shock uses a 3.0” ID spring while the 46mm shock uses a 2.5” ID spring
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).
| Bilstein B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorbers are designed to be used on custom off-road vehicles in order to achieve the desired ride of your light truck or SUV. These high gas pressure monotube shock absorbers are sold by various lengths and valve rates to accommodate a wide range of uses and custom applications. All B8 5165 shock absorbers come equipped with 5/8 inch eyelets with hour glass bushings on both ends. The remote reservoir will offer increased cooling capacity and wheel travel to optimize overall performance compared to a traditional shock absorber. Each shock absorber is fitted with a unique 360 degree swivel banjo hose fitting, providing a clean, low profile installation. B8 5165 remote reservoir shock absorbers will increase overall durability of your custom vehicle allowing you to conquer the harshest of off-road environments. |
