Bilstein 5165

Bilstein 5165 Series shocks are remote-reservoir dampers aimed at serious off-road and competition use. Like the 5160 line, they use a monotube design with an external reservoir for cooling and consistency under repeated hard hits, with configurations tuned for custom and long-travel setups.
