Shock SZ/SL 9in Comp 8 Reb 1

The BILSTEIN Shock SZ/SL 9in Comp 8 Reb 1 is a monotube shock absorber engineered for high-performance suspension applications requiring precise damping control and extended travel capabilities. Built with a steel body finished in zinc plating for corrosion resistance, this shock delivers consistent performance across diverse driving conditions and terrain challenges.

The SZ Series shock features a 1.81-inch outer diameter with a C8-R1 valve configuration optimized for progressive damping and rebound control. With a compressed length of 14.88 inches and extended length of 23.52 inches, this 9-inch stroke provides substantial suspension travel for vehicles requiring enhanced articulation. The monotube design allows for consistent pressure maintenance throughout the full range of motion, eliminating the performance degradation common in twin-tube designs under sustained compression cycles. The zinc-plated steel construction resists oxidation in harsh environments, making this shock suitable for both on-road and off-road applications where salt spray, mud, and moisture exposure are common.

This BILSTEIN shock serves restoration projects, performance builds, and replacement applications where OEM or near-OEM suspension geometry is required. Buyers upgrading factory suspension or maintaining vehicles in duty-cycle environments benefit from the monotube's superior heat dissipation and fade resistance. At 4.34 pounds, the unit integrates into most standard suspension mounting configurations where bore specifications and stroke length match application requirements. Each shock is sold individually, allowing builders to source matched pairs for dual-shock setups or selective upgrade scenarios.
