What’s the difference, CSR Multimatic and Bilstein?

[Gareth H]

Sorry I'm a bit of a numpty, I've seen Multimatic and Bilstein dampers mentioned in relation to the CSR, mine came on Bilstein track, and from what I can see Caterhams road offering is Bilstein.

what are the Multimatics?

Multimatic are another damper manufacturer, they are a bit different to conventional dampers as they use a series of spool valves inside, rather than the normal shims.

They are a good alternative to Bilsteins - SamC has some on his CSR, I think he had them on a damper dyno after quite a high mileage and they still looked good compared to the original curves from Multimatic, but he can confirm.

Thanks Ben.
