Bilstein B6 and Bilstein B16 PSS10 for new UK-spec Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro has been a source of fascination to lovers of US sports cars since 1966. The arrival of the new fifth-generation model in 2009 saw the original muscle car from the GM group finally come of age. The performance yield of the bullish Camaro is particularly impressive. Its 6.2 litre engine delivers 432 PS of power from eight cylinders. As of now, the job of applying this power to the road can be assumed by the BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 coilover suspension kit. A further addition to the suspension specialists' range is the high-performance BILSTEIN B6 for the same powerful platform.
The BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 goes hand-in-hand with the Chevrolet Camaro like milk and cookies. The coilover suspension kit ideally supplements the already outstanding standard Camaro equipment by adding extra safety, dynamism and individuality. Following extensive driving tests, the BILSTEIN experts adapted the high-performance shock absorbers to the precise characteristics of this American icon. They add unrivalled flexibility to the pure joy of driving. The ten-level damping force adjustment of the BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 allows the sports coupé to adapt its grip and road holding perfectly to the individual tastes of the driver. Once the kit has been fitted, the bump and rebound level can be individually selected via a thumbwheel. The monotube gas pressure and upside-down technology used in the BILSTEIN B16 PSS10 for the Chevrolet Camaro optimises directional and braking stability and ensures dynamic, as well as safe, cornering ability. The lowering range of 30 to 60 millimetres for the front and rear axles not only gives the car an even sportier appearance, it also significantly improves handling and yields a successful combination of highly precise driving dynamics and comfort. Flexible height adjustment of up to 30 millimetres is no problem for the BILSTEIN B16 PSS10. The round thread of the coilover suspension ensures that changes can be easily made.
The BILSTEIN B6 high-performance shock absorber for the Chevrolet Camaro launched in August and will keep the sports coupé safely on the road even in extreme situations thanks to the optimised damping force. The BILSTEIN B6 gives the muscle car that extra touch of refinement, further improves the control of the vehicle and gives the driver a feeling of safety at all times. With their monotube gas pressure design and proven upside-down technology, the shock absorbers treat the driver to greater traction and precision handling with damping ability always in reserve – and there is no need for an extra spring change. However, if desired, BILSTEIN has the superior OEM quality BILSTEIN B3 car coil springs in its portfolio.
