Bilstein's B14 monotube shock absorber was designed for heat dissipation and ride control, paired with their PSS Coil-Over System to add matched performance spring and a threaded ride height adjuster to provide a complete suspension system for your S2000. They are manufactured with the rod pointing down into the strut tube, thereby utilizing the thicker, stouter body portion of the shock absorber to dissipate side loads. Consequently, due to the increased diameter and surface of the pressure tube, the Bilstein gas pressure strut/insert or shock is better suited to take increased side loads when compared with your OEM suspension.

While you get a great performance system, the piston head design allows independent tuning of the compression and rebound damping forces to provide optimum ride comfort and performance without compromises.

• Honda S2000 [AP1 / AP2] (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009)

Extended Information

For over 50 years, Bilstein has been a world leader in gas pressure shock absorber development and manufacturing. They were the first to apply the patented gas pressure principle to controlling ride characteristics on automobiles and introduced the world's first monotube gas pressure shock absorber to provide stability through resistance to lateral forces. Today, Bilstein continues to be the leader in monotube gas pressure shock absorber technology.

The Bilstein name graces not only monotube gas pressure shock absorbers, but also single and twin tube McPherson strut style suspensions. Utilizing the same technological design advantages as their monotube gas pressure shock absorbers, Bilstein's twin tube strut assemblies are designed to withstand maximum loads while providing high durability. Both Bilstein shocks and struts are built to meet the fitment and performance needs of specific vehicles. And their patented design reduces the need for a compromise between ride, handling and control. The rising rate valving of the Bilstein shock absorber provides the necessary damping to react quicker to road conditions without sacrificing ride comfort. This combination of valving and high-pressure nitrogen gas keeps the tires in constant contact with the road helping to enhance safety through improved control.

Rigorous development, testing and attention to detail combine to provide exceptional handling and ride comfort for your vehicle and a product that will out last and out perform Original Equipment shock absorbers. Additionally, with Bilstein's aftermarket lifetime warranty, you can be assured they're built to last.

From racing and testing in Formula 1, NASCAR, SCCA, Rally and Off-Road to Original Equipment placement on BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Subaru, Toyota, GM, Ford, and Chrysler vehicles, Bilstein performance ride control products are proven to be among the best.
