Construction & Design

Bilstein’s B6 4600 shocks feature a rugged monotube construction that separates them from traditional twin-tube shocks. This design allows for better heat management, reducing fade during extended use and maintaining consistent damping performance. The internal digressive piston is velocity sensitive, meaning it adjusts damping force based on the speed of suspension movement, providing a smooth ride over small bumps and firm control during aggressive driving or heavy loads.

The shock body is finished with a distinctive yellow powder coat that protects against rust and corrosion, ensuring durability in harsh environments. The smooth body design without coilover threads simplifies installation and enhances reliability.

Installation requires no special tools or modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for professional mechanics or experienced DIY enthusiasts. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to replace both rear shocks simultaneously.
