IPD has been distributing and using Bilstein HD shocks for decades. The reason is simple - they're good. Really good. It's sometimes tough to put into words the change in ride after swapping in a set of Bilsteins. They're firm, but not harsh. They're sporty, yet not over powering. See what I mean? If you're after a firm, sporty, predictable and controlled ride Bilstein HD's are a fantastic choice. On the other hand, if you like the more plushed-out soft feeling of the Volvo OEM shock these aren't for you.
Bilstein B6 Performance dampers are a performance upgrade to OE dampers designed to be paired with OE factory springs. These dampers offer application specific valve settings with a monotube design to bring out the best handling performance of a vehicle. Each damper is rigorously tested for quality that meets or exceeds OE standards.
For use with factory ride height springs (not lowered).
