This pressure, called the gas reactive force, and Bilstein's perfect internal seals force the shaft to be extended.</dd> <dt><b><br> Is the car more difficult to scale with Bilsteins?</b></dt> <dd>Bilstein shocks have no effect on the results as you weigh the four corners. The gas reactive force in Bilstein shocks may raise your car's ride height slightly. Simply adjust the chassis downward to the desired ride height.</dd> <dt><b><br> Does Bilstein offer specific applications for the various dirt and asphalt racing series?</b></dt> <dd>Bilstein has shocks specifically valved for both dirt and asphalt surfaces of various track lengths.</dd> <dt><b><br> Are Bilsteins difficult to understand and use?</b></dt> <dd>After reviewing the various set-ups, you'll be ready to select the proper shocks for your specific race car. Bilstein valving is precise. Once you purchase your Bilsteins, you can be certain that they will perform at peak efficiency throughout their long life.</dd> <dt><b><br> I can buy twin-tube shocks for less money than Bilsteins. Why should I spend the extra money?</b></dt> <dd>Bilstein shocks are fabricated from the highest quality components for long life performance. Typically, Bilsteins are only slightly more expensive than twin-tube brands. Since they will far outlast conventional shocks, Bilsteins cost much less over the long run. Bilstein shocks are the least expensive way to lower your lap times.</dd> <dt><b><br> The companies that sell only twin-tube (low pressure gas) shocks say their design outperforms mono-tube (high pressure gas) shocks. How can I know the truth?</b></dt> <dd>Take a trip to a local discount department store that sells replacement shocks for cars and trucks from about $49.00 to $111.00. All of the shocks on display will be twin-tube shocks. Their price reflects the fact that twin-tube technology is relatively unsophisticated and very low cost to produce. At an new car dealership you'll find that low cost base line cars and trucks are factory equipped with twin-tube shocks that add very little to the cost of the vehicle. On the other hand, Chevrolet Corvettes have been equipped from the factory with Bilstein gas pressure shocks since 1984. Factory installed Bilsteins can also be found on Mercedes Benz, Ferrari, Porsche, Chevrolet Z-71 trucks and many other high performance vehicles around the world. Finally, take a stroll through the pit area at a NASCAR Winston cup, Busch. Craftsman Truck, CART, IRL, IMSA, or Formula One race and you'll find not a twin-tube shock in sight! The top racing engineers in the world always use mono-tube gas shocks! By searching out the facts, you will know the truth; and the truth will make you fast!</dd> </dl> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="20" background="../assets/common/pattern3.gif">  </td> <td width="240" valign="top"> <table width="240" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td height="200"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../assets/motor/mann.jpg" width="240" height="160"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../assets/motor/beetle.jpg" width="200" height="143"></td> </tr> <tr> <td height="300"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="../assets/motor/mud.jpg" width="240" height="192"></td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="240" valign="top" height="10"> </td> <td width="20" height="10"> </td> <td width="240" valign="top" height="10"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" align="center"> <a href="#top"><img src="../assets/common/top.gif" width="40" height="30" border="0"></a> <p> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </center> </body>
