Product Details
Bilstein shocks and struts incorporate a superior and more reliable Mono Tube design for a more linear response when compared to the progressive valving found in twin tube shocks and struts. All Bilstein struts incorporate internal bump stops permitting you to remove the factory stops to save weight. And perhaps best of all, Bilstein struts and shocks are fully rebuildable and have the ability to be custom valved and or shortened/ lengthened for different ride heights, making them an uncomprable value!
We went "Cherry Pickin'" through the whole Bilstein line, and have the following in stock for your Mustang - so you can step up to Bilstein Today!
Front: 395-V36-4138-HI: 87-04 “Heavy Duty”
Fits any 87-04 Mustang, as well as 79-86 'stangs when upgraded with 87 or newer V8 spindles. With their “Heavy Duty” valving, (same valving as a stock 03-04 Cobra), they work best with Steeda Sport Spring sets, any of the factory V8 springs including Bullitt or Mach 1, or any other spring in the 550-650 pound range. Not suggested with ANY of the available coil over springs on the market, or our 750-850 or 850-1050 pound Comp Springs.
395-VE3-4593: 87-04 “Sport”
Same fitment as the 395-V36-4138-HI (above). With “Cobra R” spec valving, they offer the ideal damping for our 750-850 pound Comp Springs, and are a natural choice for your IRS Cobra with our 03-04 Cobra Sport Springs'. Works best with rear 395-BE5-6418-HO or B462148-HI shocks, and our 5th Anniversary Comp / Sport Spring Set. Can be used with our 850-1050 pound race springs but ideally you would want a firmer valving for something with a working range over 900 pounds. May also be mused with some mild street coil-over set-ups running up to a 200 pound coil-over spring.
Rear: 395-BE5-2959-HO: 99-04 “Heavy Duty”
For IRS cars 99-04, featuring “Heavy Duty” valving (similar to 03-04 Cobra factory shocks). A great upgrade for 99-01 Cobra and 03-04 Cobra (coupe and Convertible) owners when running our 99-01 Cobra Sport Springs (540-600 Front Rate/ 500-600 Rear Rate) or the factory springs.
395-BE5-6418-HO: 94-04 “Heavy Duty”
For Solid Axle Cars, this shock has the “Heavy Duty” valving works best with a 200-300 pound spring. Perfect damping for any of our Sport or Comp/Sport Spring sets, or factory Bullitt or Mach 1 springs. For racers in classes which allow upgraded dampers but not springs these, when matched to the V36-4138-HI Front Struts (above) are a good set up. Works with the factory GT or Cobra (non IRS) springs, but WILL NOT be sufficient for the 325 or 350 pound springs used with our 5 Link Suspension.
395-B46-2148-HI: 79-93 “Heavy Duty”
Same specs as the BE5-6418-HO, for 79-93 cars.
395-BE5-2959-WO: 99-04 “Sport”
The “Cobra R” Spec Shock for 99-04 IRS cars. Works best with spring rates between 650-850 pounds. A good mate for our 03-04 Cobra Sport Springs, or the Cobra R springs. Too firm for the factory spring rates, but ideal for any of our spring upgrades for the 03-04 Cobras. Helps control wheel hop when used with our 03-04 Cobra Sports Springs.
