BILSTEIN B16 coilover package for Nissan Skyline

BILSTEIN, the respected German manufacturer of dampers and suspension systems has released a beautifully engineered chassis enhancement for Nissan’s superb R32 and R33 Skyline.

The new kit offers OEM levels of fit, finish and ride quality, coupled with significant improvements in handling. The kit been designed and produced entirely in-house in BILSTEIN’s cutting-edge German production facilities and benefits greatly from BILSTEIN’s enviable relationship with the Japanese manufacture. BILSTEIN has proved the damping solutions for many of Nissan’s hottest ‘R’ cars, including the latest R35 GT-R.

Thanks to precision-machined threaded steel bodies, the BILSTEIN kit offers 20mm of ride height adjustment from a lower starting point, which equates to a drop of between -30mm and -50mm. This is regarded by most engineers to be the most that it is possible to lower a vehicle before handling becomes adversely affect and safety is compromised.

The B16 kit represents the pinnacle of suspension performance allowing the owner to fine-tune the ride height, damping rate and stance to suit their own needs. Each damper unit has nine steps of adjustment, with bump and rebound being changed together in a carefully pre-set ratio to ensure that the car retains impeccable manners. With a damping range that offers either limo smoothness, track control or indeed, anything in-between, the B16 kit truly allows you to have two cars in one.

As with all BILSTEIN performance products, the B16 kits have been extensively proven. Not only in BILSTEIN’s extensive laboratory set-up, but more importantly, at the Papenburg test facility, where BILSTEIN have their unparalleled research centre. Here, the BILSTEIN B16 units were ‘shaken down’ by real, live test drivers, to ensure that these upgrades don’t just work well in a computer simulation, but can offer ride quality and peerless handling whether fully loaded or on the poorest of surfaces.

As you might expect from the World’s leading original equipment manufacturer, both kits carry full TUV approval and 12 months warranty. The B16 is priced at £870.00 + VAT.
