wHAT IS BILSTEIN B60?

For those with specialist needs, Bilstein B60 kits can also be tailored for custom applications. These are frequently used on vehicles such as Mercedes Unimog, G-Class, Iveco trucks, and even full-sized heavy-duty trucks. This flexibility ensures the B60 range can meet the demands of not just mainstream 4x4s, but also specialist builds and expedition vehicles.
