Default Bp-51

Hey fellas,

I will have a set on mine in the next couple of weeks and will let you know how they go on the JK. ARB certainly isn't mucking around with these, they have been through extensive design, development and testing over the past 4 years.

Here is a couple of technical features and benefits.

The BP-51 are a 51mm bore, internal bypass, shim controlled and position sensitive dampening shock (patent pending). This provides comfort at ride height and dampening increases as you get closer to the end zone giving an increase in control at end zones.

The shocks have external compression and rebound adjustment and are on car adjustable. They are 100% rebuildable and re-valveable.

From the few vehicles we have fitted up so far with these BP-51's impressive would be an understatement.

Cheers Michael,

My Bilstien 5100's are starting to leak so will be in the market soon for replacements. Though not sure at the price...

www.allshocks.com have the Bilstein 5160 remote reservoir shocks for $179usd each.

Beats paying $400aud each for Fox remotes that leak.

Have seen shocks of just about every make leak...... Elka, Bilstein, Fox, ARB, Teraflex, Koni ( where have they gone ? ), KYB........

Making generalizations based on limited evidence isn't very meaningful.
