Autofuture Design Sdn Bhd: The Exclusive Distributor Of Bilstein Sports Suspension Systems In Malaysia

Autofuture Design Sdn Bhd has been the exclusive distributor of Bilstein Sports Suspension Systems in Malaysia for well over 10 years. Their expertise in a vehicles suspension system goes beyond the look and feel of the car to the point of technicalities and mechanics. Given that the demand for a more dynamic suspension has been increasing, here is a brief but detailed showcase on a selected few of the suspension systems made by Bilstein GmbH. The purpose of this showcase is to assist customers in choosing the right suspension system that will suit their needs. 

The suspension component of a car plays a major role in their performance and character. Whether you're aiming for a plush ride or a firmer set-up for the corners on the way home from work, Bilstein GmbH offers various suspension systems to satisfy the needs of various customers. 

In true fact, a car's suspension components are due for a replacement after driving for three to five years or after driving for 60,000km and above as the components deteriorate gradually as time flies. However, for the locals in Malaysia, most assume that the components do not need to be replaced until the suspension system begins to leak or produce sounds. It is important to note that the suspension system isn't only made up of the shocks and springs but are also made up of other components such as the mountings and bushings. If the wear and tear on these components are left unattended, it may affect the car's performance and as a result, may affect other components causing unwanted wear and tear. An under performing suspension system may also result in reduced driver control that may jeopardise the safety and security of the occupants.

Apart from that, as the exclusive distributor of Bilstein Sports Suspension Systems in Malaysia, Autofuture Design has reported that the enquiries for suspension systems have been increasing overtime due to the lackluster performance of original suspension systems that have been deemed inadequate for performance driving. Luxury car brands like Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and other manufacturers have prioritised a more soft and comfortable ride whilst placing handling performance in second place.
