Bilstein AS2 Series BV Shock Absorber

 

Bilstein AS2 Series BV Shock Absorber is built for customers who need a serious motorsports damper rather than a basic replacement shock. It is built for racers who want a rebuildable aluminum monotube damper with base valve technology and single adjustable rebound control. It is aimed at race builds, custom suspension packages, and demanding setups where damping control is a key part of how the vehicle puts power down and stays composed.

The design gives builders a durable foundation for dialing in ride control around track surface, chassis balance, tire package, and driver preference. The 46mm internal bore and threaded body design support both damping consistency and precise coilover-style setup planning. For customers working with dirt, asphalt, desert, or mixed competition environments, that control helps the suspension respond with more consistency as conditions change.

The clear anodized aluminum body helps manage weight and heat, while 1/2in teflon heim mounts support smooth articulation in race suspension layouts. The finish and body layout are designed to support repeated service work, setup changes, and careful tuning without turning the shock into a disposable component. That matters for customers who maintain their own race program or work with a suspension specialist.

This range includes 6 in through 10 in nominal dry kit choices, with stroke values from 5.76 in through 9.12 in. Rather than forcing every build into one length or tune, the series gives customers a focused range of motorsports choices that can be matched around ride height, available travel, mounting points, and the type of control the chassis needs. The result is a shock absorber that can be planned as part of a complete suspension system.

AS2 Series BV dampers are designed for motorsports applications where customers confirm spring hardware, piston planning, gas pressure, and valving with a qualified suspension program. Customers should match the shock to the vehicle's suspension geometry, intended use, and sanctioning requirements before installation. Correct length, mount style, spring hardware, and tuning components are critical to getting the intended performance from this type of damper.

Whether customers are upgrading for race suspension grip, rebuildable damper service, coilover planning, or single-adjustable tuning, the Bilstein AS2 Series BV Shock Absorber delivers a modular aluminum platform with base valve grip potential. Now Available at LEER!
