| A high performance handling package is not complete without an excellent set of shock absorbers.
The compression and rebound characteristics of your suspension are key elements to a fine handling car. Firm Feel is proud to offer the RCD Classics line of Bilstein Shock Absorbers to complement your street or race setup. They are not cheap, but the reason is in the quality.

| As the piston head moves, oil flows through independent passageways for rebound and compression. Valving disks stacked on both sides of the piston, vary in size and thickness. These disks deflect off their seat allowing the oil to flow past the piston. As the suspension/shock speed increases, more disks come in the stack come into play slowing the flow of oil past the piston, increasing the shock valving and slowing the suspension movements, eliminating the need for a manually adjustable shock. |

| The photo above dramatically illustrates the size difference between the working piston in side a Bilstein monotube shock and one found in a typical twin tube shock. The Bilstein piston has a 228% larger surface area than the average conventional twin tube piston offering greater sensitivity and superior vehicle control.
