Description
Oval-track 9″ w/60mm gas chamber
Bilstein BGT (Big Gas Threaded) shock absorbers are 46mm aluminum body monotube shocks designed for, but not limited to, Late Models, Super Late Models, Sprint Cars, Dirt Late Models, and Big Block Modified. These shocks feature a large 60mm nitrogen compartment that reduces rod pressure and keeps the nitrogen pressure more consistent during heat changes. The BGT shock absorbers are hard anodized with coarse threads on the shock body for added strength and ease of coil spring height adjustment. They are available with or without the BGT base valve and are completely racer rebuildable and revalvable. Optional adjustable shafts are available, as well as composite wear sleeves to protect the shock tube.
The core BILSTEIN brand can look back on a 140-year history. When the company was founded in Altenvoerde (now Ennepetal) in 1873, no one dreamed what a great influence products from BILSTEIN would have one day on the road safety and driving comfort of the automobile. It was initially window fittings which were to give the company founded by August Bilstein a reputation that stretched far beyond the local regions into neighbouring countries. A number of patented technical innovations formed a solid basis for the later successes of the still young company. To satisfy the high quality demands even in the preliminary phases of fittings manufacture, BILSTEIN set up its own strip iron rolling mill as far back as 1919. In the 1920s, Hans Bilstein, who had taken over the management of the company from his father, returned from the USA to his home in the Westphalia region with some new ideas for methods of nickel and chrome plating.
