Bilstein Performance Shock Absorber, Front, '66 & Later Type 1, BJ, Germany

If performance and handling are your priorities for your VW, Bilstein shocks are an excellent choice.  Bilstein has been making high performance shock absorbers for street, strip, track, and off-road applications in for decades.  They are still made in Germany, as they have been for all these years.  The shocks we carry are classified as a "B6" rating, which according to their own rating system "are a performance upgrade to OE dampers designed to be paired to the OE factory spring" and "will provide improved safety and handling performance with the added benefit of world-famous Bilstein quality".  Note that if a soft, mushy ride is your goal, these are not for you!  We've used these for decades ourselves (and are still using them!) for performance applications.
