Note the 5/8 diameter of bilsteins hidden section of shock that you don't normally get to see because of there inverted design. What your actually left to look at is there machined case housing. Make the shock look big and robust.......well its not. The shock to the left is a kyb with a 1" diameter. that almost 50% larger.No woder the bilstein bent
