Bilstein Group ‘A’ damper inserts for Ford Escort Mk1/2
BILSTEIN, the hugely respected German suspension manufacturer has released details of its fully homologated Group ‘A’ dampers for the Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escort. These are no-compromise competition units aimed squarely at enthusiasts looking to achieve success in historic competition classes, with both ‘Gravel’ and ‘Tarmac’ specifications being available.
Considered by many competition drivers to be amongst of the finest and most tuneable of rally cars, due to their light weight and balanced chassis, any competition Escort will benefit greatly from the application of these well-proven parts. The units can also be used on the road, but would really only suit very ‘focussed’ machinery – or those looking for ultimate handling at the expense of refinement!
BILSTEIN’s Group ‘A’ damper package helps to significantly enhance the dynamic abilities of the car. Using the very latest in BILSTEIN gas pressure technology and inverted monotube construction, each unit is hand finished in BILSTEIN’s German factory to surpass even the most stringent of OEM production standards.
The monotube BILSTEIN dampers in this kit draw heavily from the firm’s motorsport heritage which extends to manufacturer-team level for most marques. They are vastly superior to twin-tube designs and will handle heat and repeated oscillations far more easily. After full dyno analysis, each kit application has been signed off by BILSTEIN test drivers and engineers at both the Nürburgring as well as the industry-leading Papenburg test facility – hence the reason that BILSTEIN Group N dampers offer such a peerless ride and handling balance combined with exceptional service life.
Offering significantly greater service life than the standard part, the BILSTEIN Group N dampers also increase active safety through more efficient braking, better traction and improved handling.
