Review on Bilstein 24 215220 Monotube Shock Absorber by Gabriel Day

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best dampers I have ever installed in a car.

The best shock absorbers I have ever put on a car. The description says they only fit 2006-2010 Mazda3 2.3, but they also fit my 2008 Mazda 5. The stem is maybe 0.5 inch shorter than stock but I don't mind since the car doesn't come with it fully deployed shock absorbers unless flying. Usually the shock absorbers are compressed, and since the Mazda 5 is heavier than the Mazda 3, they are compressed even more.Now the knocking of the rear legs with normal driving is gone, the car sticks to the road very well, even in a narrow space I think thinking about replacing the front struts with bilsteins but the old ones still work fine.

Pros
  • Shock absorbers, struts and suspension
Cons
  • Slightly dented
