Shock Front GM Metric 2 Comp / 12 Reb

The Shock Front GM Metric 2 Comp / 12 Reb by BILSTEIN is a premium monotube shock absorber engineered for General Motors vehicles requiring metric-threaded mounting and responsive damping control. Designed for drivers who demand refined suspension performance without compromise, this shock delivers consistent handling across highway, city, and light off-road conditions. The 2-stage compression and 12-stage rebound valving provide factory-matched tuning that restores vehicle dynamics and improves ride quality on factory and mildly modified suspensions.

BILSTEIN's monotube design features a pressurized gas chamber that maintains consistent damping force under varying thermal and load conditions, eliminating fade during extended driving or towing. The 2-compression and 12-rebound stage configuration allows independent tuning of compression (bump) and extension (rebound) cycles, ensuring the shock absorbs impacts efficiently while preventing excessive body roll during cornering. At 3.2 pounds and measuring 21.9 inches in length, this metric front shock is precisely dimensioned for OE fitment and maintains ride height without additional spring modifications, making it an ideal direct replacement for worn or fatigued factory shocks.

This shock is best suited for GM owners seeking OE-quality suspension replacement or those upgrading from aging factory dampers while retaining stock geometry. Installation requires no special tools beyond standard suspension service equipment, and metric fasteners ensure compatibility with GM's fastening specifications. Proper installation includes torquing all fasteners to manufacturer specifications and performing a wheel alignment post-installation to optimize suspension geometry and tire wear.
