Bilstein SG2 Series Shock Absorber - Black

 

Bilstein SG2 Series Shock Absorber is built for customers who need a serious motorsports damper rather than a basic replacement shock. The compact 36mm monotube package is built for customers who need a lightweight race shock for light to mid-weight applications. 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 smooth-body design keeps the shock simple and adaptable, while linear and digressive piston choices help racers shape response around track feel. For customers working with dirt, asphalt, desert, or mixed competition environments, that control helps the suspension respond with more consistency as conditions change.

The black painted steel body gives the shock a clean understated appearance, and the 1/2in heim mounts support motorsports suspension movement. 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 and 7 in nominal stroke choices, with linear and digressive dry kit versions available. 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.

SG2 dampers are intended for motorsports applications on dirt and asphalt where customers must confirm length, piston style, mount spacing, and rule requirements. 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 lightweight race suspension tuning, compact chassis packaging, or dirt and asphalt setup work, the Bilstein SG2 Series Shock Absorber delivers a focused monotube shock package with practical tuning choices. Now Available at LEER!
