FAQs

Can I adjust the damping settings with this kit?

The Bilstein B14 PSS kit typically offers adjustable ride height but usually has fixed damping settings tuned for sporty performance. Please refer to your specific product documentation for confirmation.

What is the maximum lowering amount?

The Bilstein B14 PSS Coilover Kit allows for a flexible and individual lowering of the vehicle by up to 50 mm from the original ride height.

Is an alignment necessary after installation?

Yes, a professional wheel alignment is absolutely necessary after installing coilovers and adjusting the ride height to ensure proper tire wear and vehicle handling.

Can I use this kit for daily driving?

Yes, while engineered for performance, the kit is designed to provide sporty handling suitable for everyday driving, though the ride will be firmer than stock.

What is the warranty period for Bilstein coilovers?

Bilstein typically offers a limited warranty. Please consult the official Bilstein warranty documentation or your point of purchase for specific details regarding the warranty period and coverage.

How do I clean the coilover units?

Clean the coilover units using mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-pressure washers that could damage seals or components. Ensure the threaded collars are kept clean to facilitate adjustment.

Troubleshooting

Noisy suspension after installation

Verify all mounting bolts are torqued to specification. Ensure spring perches and collars are properly seated and locked. Check that all protective boots and dust covers are correctly installed.

Vehicle height not as expected

Confirm that the ride height adjustment collars are correctly set and locked on both front and rear coilovers. Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface for measurement. Re-check for proper installation of all components.

Harsh ride quality

The B14 PSS is designed for sporty handling, which typically results in a firmer ride. Ensure the damping settings (if adjustable on your specific model, though PSS is typically non-adjustable for damping) are set correctly, and that the suspension has been properly aligned. Confirm no binding is occurring in suspension components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This specific kit (47-121225) is designed for the Ford Focus MK2 2.5 ST / ST225. Ensure your vehicle model and year match the product specifications before installation.

Setup: Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended. The process involves removing the original suspension components and installing the Bilstein coilovers. Ride height adjustment is performed by rotating the spring collars on the threaded shock bodies. It is crucial to have the suspension professionally aligned after installation and adjustment.

Care: Regular visual inspection of the coilovers for any signs of damage, leaks, or corrosion is advised. Keep the threaded shock bodies clean by periodically removing dirt and debris to ensure smooth ride height adjustment. Avoid high-pressure washing directly on the damper seals. Routine checks of all mounting hardware for proper torque are essential for safety.
