What is a monotube shock absorber?

A monotube shock absorber uses a single, large-diameter tube to house the piston and gas. This design helps dissipate heat more effectively, leading to more consistent performance and less fading during heavy use compared to twin-tube designs.

Do I need to buy new springs for this shock absorber?

No, this Bilstein B6 shock absorber is designed to work with your vehicle's original springs and mounting hardware. You'll reuse the parts that came with your Land Rover Discovery.

What does 'velocity-sensitive, digressive piston' mean?

This means the piston inside the shock absorber adjusts its damping force based on how quickly it's moving. It allows for a softer ride during slow movements and firmer damping during faster movements, adapting to different road conditions.
