CIRCLE TRACK ROAD RACE RALLY DRAG OFF-ROAD MOTORSPORTS

MOTORSPORTS CATALOG SETTING THE PACE FOR OVER 50 YEARS. BILSTEIN introduced the very first monotube gas pressure shock absorber to the racing world over 50 years ago. It didn t take long for racers to recognize the superior performance that this new technology provided and the wins started stacking up. In fact, ever since, the world s most renowned drivers have won on BILSTEIN shocks. After 50 years of continuously evolving shock technology, the winning tradition continues with victories in 2014. From Daytona to Le Mans to Baja, the legendary BILSTEIN technology can be found in winner s circles around the globe. Every BILSTEIN shock featured in this catalog is a true monotube high pressure gas shock; no emulsion, no foam cells, just performance. No matter what you race, BILSTEIN has the technology and performance you need; count on BILSTEIN to deliver the winning results you re looking for. After all, we ve been the leader since the very beginning. Cover: Lower photo provided by Bruce Carroll; Top photo provided by Tom McCulloh.

MOTORSPORTS CATALOG BILSTEIN TECHNOLOGY The Technology of BILSTEIN s Monotube Design Heat is one of the major detriments to the performance and longevity of any shock absorber. Conventional twintube designed shocks trap the heat within the shock body and do not let it adequately dissipate, making them prone to heat build-up, fade and eventual failure. By contrast, BILSTEIN s superior monotube high gas pressure design allows the excessive heat from the oil to transfer to the outer surface of the shock body and dissipate more efficiently. The dividing piston also permits the oil to expand as heat builds, preventing aeration (foaming) and viscosity loss. This allows the shock to maintain full damping characteristics as temperatures rise. Pressure Differentials Shock oils contain roughly 10% gas molecules. The compression and rebound strokes of the shock piston in the oil column cause pressure differentials. When the piston rod is forced quickly into the shock tube, the pressure increases in front of the piston and decreases behind it. These pressure differentials release gas molecules from the oil column which forms small bubbles (foaming). The foaming can become so excessive that damping force is severely reduced. The shock becomes unresponsive with a corresponding loss of control and grip. Non-pressurized shock, foaming High Pressure Nitrogen Gas & Floating Dividing Piston Nitrogen gas maintains constant pressure against the low mass floating dividing piston and column of hydraulic oil, eliminating the possibility of oil foaming and performance loss. Self-Adjusting Piston Instantly reacts and adjusts for any condition. Provides maximum vehicle body motion control and grip. 1. Your setups will be more precise due to consistent and repeatable valving designs. 2. BILSTEIN s proprietary piston design and deflective disc technology develops control force when you need it. The combination provides superior weight transfer control at the slightest suspension movement as well as better control under braking. 3. BILSTEIN shocks use custom blended oil and deflective disc technology that prevents performance fading. Your shocks will handle as good at the end of the race as they did at the start. 4. BILSTEIN shocks are rugged. They last for years and are rebuildable. 5. When the advantages of BILSTEIN shocks are tallied up, you will have spent less money on shock absorbers and out-performed the competition. Why Race on BILSTEIN Shock Absorbers? BILSTEIN s unique deflective disc valving system allows for exact damping of both compression and rebound movements. WHY BILSTEIN? In a monotube gas pressure shock absorber, the nitrogen separated from the oil by a dividing piston keeps the oil column under pressure at all times to prevent the release of gas molecules. This enables the shock to deliver consistent performance under all track conditions. Twintube piston BILSTEIN piston The piston head design allows independent tuning of the compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum performance without compromise. This simple, yet exceptionally functional design contributes to the extreme durability and performance of BILSTEIN shocks. Monotube vs. Twintube Shock Design The photo on the left dramatically illustrates the size difference between the working piston inside a BILSTEIN monotube shock and one found in a typical twintube shock. BILSTEIN s piston has 228% larger surface area than the average conventional twintube piston offering greater sensitivity as well as superior grip and tired life. BILSTEIN s Working Piston Assembly Compression Valving Disks Gas pressure shock, no foaming Large Flow Piston BILSTEIN s Industry Leading Monotube Design Provides superior tube strength while maximizing heat dissipation and shock life. One Piece Aluminum Rod Guide & Seal Keeps dirt out and maintains a nearly friction-free surface for longer life. Hard Chrome Piston Rod Features a super finished hard chrome plated surface with a maximum peak-to-valley measurement of.0002mm. The following are some commonly asked questions and their corresponding answers concerning BILSTEIN monotube gas pressure shock absorbers: THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND THEIR CORRESPONDING ANSWERS CONCERNING BILSTEIN MONOTUBE GAS PRESSURE SHOCK ABSORBERS: Q. Why is the shaft on a BILSTEIN shock always extended? A. As monotube gas shocks, BILSTEIN shocks are under nitrogen pressure to deliver the most responsive damping for ultimate control. This pressure, called the gas reactive force, and BILSTEIN s low friction seals, force the shaft to extend. Q. Is the car more difficult to scale with BILSTEIN shocks? A. BILSTEIN shocks have no effect on the results as you weigh the four corners. The gas reactive force in BILSTEIN shocks may raise your car s ride height slightly. Simply adjust the chassis downward to the desired ride height. Q. Does BILSTEIN offer specific applications for the various dirt and asphalt racing series? A. BILSTEIN has shocks specifically valved for both dirt and asphalt surfaces of various track lengths and bankings. Q. Are BILSTEIN shocks difficult to understand and use? A. After reviewing the setup charts, you ll be ready to select the proper shocks for your specific race car. BILSTEIN valving is precise. Once you purchase your BILSTEIN shocks, you can be certain they will perform at peak performance throughout their long life. Q. How can I learn more about tuning BILSTEIN shocks? A. If you are interested in learning more about assembling and tuning BILSTEIN products, contact us to learn more about our BILSTEIN Technical Training School. Through a combination of classroom and hands-on training, participants gain further insight into tuning for track conditions and how handling dynamics can be addressed through shock choices. The hands-on experience includes assembly and disassembly of a variety of BILSTEIN shocks as well as dyno testing and diagnostics. Teflon (PTFE) Piston Band 4 Rebound Valving Disks 5

MOTORSPORTS CATALOG PISTON + BILSTEIN Pistons and Valving Shock absorbers produce damping force by forcing oil, under pressure, through orifices in the piston. Shock damping forces increase as the vertical velocity of your suspension increases. In other words, when the shock s piston speed through the oil increases, so do the damping forces. Shock dynamometers measure the amount of damping force generated by the piston as it accelerates and decelerates from a dead stop to a chosen peak velocity (usually 10 to 12 per second). The forces are normally depicted in the form of a graph that plots shaft velocity, in inches per second, on the horizontal, and damping forces in pounds on the vertical. Compression forces are normally expressed from zero going up, and rebound forces from zero going down, although that can be reversed by the Force (Lbs) 400.0 200.0 0.0-200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) This graph was generated by a BILSTEIN linear piston using 36.4mm diameter cover plates resulting in a high bleed (or high frequency) style, short track linear valving. 400.0 dyno operator with a single key stroke. Below, study the shock dyno graphs that illustrate the different style performance curves using two, unique piston designs, available from BILSTEIN. Bleed: The unrestricted flow of oil through the piston that bypasses the valve disc stack is referred to as bleed, or sometimes as bypass. The bleed characteristic in the shock s piston design determines the amount of slow piston speed control available before the shock s valving begins to control the higher velocity forces. High bleed pistons create small amounts of damping force at low piston speeds, and low bleed pistons create large amounts of damping force at low piston speeds. Force (Lbs) 400.0 200.0 0.0-200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) This graph depicts the BILSTEIN linear piston combined with 37.4mm cover plates. The result is valving with more low-speed control. 400.0 Study the current BILSTEIN setup recommendations for your particular type of racing. These combinations are tested and race proven to be successful, but due to the many variables that come into play under racing conditions, it is to your advantage to have a basic understanding of how shock damping rates affect your lap times. Adjustments can then be made with reason and understanding of how they will affect the car. Simply stated, shock absorbers convert the kinetic energy of the spring movements into heat. This heat is then dissipated into the air through the shock tube or body. In practical application, shock absorbers are necessary to maintain maximum tire patch contact to the track as the car corners and negotiates irregularities on the race track surface. Spring rates determine how far your chassis rolls, pitches or squats. Shock rates determine the length of time it takes for each of these movements to occur. Rebound damping controls the movement of that part of the car s sprung mass that is stored in a compressed spring. The rebound damping rate determines how long it takes for the compressed spring to return to the static ride height. The larger the rebound figure, the more the shock resists the compressed spring s effort to rebound, and the longer it takes for the chassis to return to the static ride height. Compression damping controls only the oscillation of the car s unsprung weight. Therefore, it is normal to use less compression damping than rebound damping. The exception How to Shock Tune Your Chassis occurs when we choose to slow the downward movement on a particular corner of the car to mimic the effect of a stiffer spring. Here are some guidelines to use when shock tuning your chassis at the track or making the best decisions during initial setup. We are making the assumption that you have removed as many variables as possible and are using the best combination of springs, weights, wheel spacers, tire compound, stagger, etc. Utilizing the Think Track below, study the following list of suggestions. These are not rules, but tendencies that are more often true than not when racing late models and modifieds on asphalt or dirt surfaces. 45 #3 0 Think Track #2 0 90 90 135 All you have to do is determine what you want the car to do from entry to exit. Just think it through! 0 #4 TUNING YOUR SHOCKS 0 #1 135 45 Force (Lbs) 200.0 0.0-200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) Our standard digressive valvings can be built with a wide range of bleed patterns. The one shown here is a very high bleed valving typical of one that would be used on the rear suspension to promote traction. Force (Lbs) 400.0 200.0 0.0 Force (Lbs) 200.0 0.0-200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) Shown here is a standard digressive valving using a low amount of bleed. Notice the large amount of force developed on both compression and rebound at slow piston speeds. Force (Lbs) 400.0 200.0 0.0 If your car is: Loose (Oversteer) from 0 to 90 Increase compression rate on front. Decrease rebound rate on rear, or only on left rear. Tight (Understeer) from 0 to 90 Decrease compression rate on front, or only on right front. Increase rebound rate on rear, or only on left rear. Loose (Oversteer) from 90 to 0 Decrease rebound rate on front. Decrease compression rate on rear. Tight (Understeer) from 90 to 0 Increase rebound rate on front. Increase compression rate on rear, or only on right rear. Troubleshooting the Car at the Track When analyzing corner entry, or deceleration handling, realize that the chassis is affected by: Compression rate in front. Rebound rate at rear. When analyzing corner exit, or acceleration handling, realize that the chassis is affected by: Rebound rate in front. Compression rate at rear. -200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) The new BILSTEIN COB Digressive piston utilizes a check valve, that when installed on the compression side of the piston creates less bleed and therefore more force on the rebound side. -200.0-400.0 0.0 2.0 4.0 6.0 8.0 10.0 Velocity (In/Sec) When the COB Digressive piston s check valve is installed on the rebound side, there is less bleed and therefore more force created on the compression side. BILSTEIN shocks are famous for their superior performance on very rough asphalt or rutted dirt tracks. You may need to choose a shock with more compression damping than found on our setup sheets under extreme rough track conditions. We have included this section in our catalog to broaden your understanding of the function of shock absorbers and to show you the effect they have on handling. Keep in mind that there are many adjustments on your chassis other than shock absorbers. The oversteer/understeer balance may be affected by stagger, tire compound, wheel spacing, spring rates, sway bar, panhard and others. Shocks can be used to fine tune your chassis to gain that last few tenths of a second on the track. 6 7
