Yes, they are designed as a direct fit replacement for the Ford Fiesta MK7, though installation by a professional is recommended. For some specific vehicle applications, an insert or uprated twin-tube version may be supplied.
The B6 Sport dampers offer a firmer ride than standard factory shocks to improve handling. While many find the balance firm yet comfortable, it is a noticeable difference from stock and may be perceived as too stiff by some drivers prioritizing comfort above all else.
Yes, they can be used with standard height springs. They are also an excellent pairing for lowering springs, as they are designed to work effectively with the increased demands of shorter, stiffer springs.
Dampers are sold individually. For the rear of your vehicle, you will typically need to purchase two units to ensure balanced damping performance on both sides.
The monotube design prevents oil and gas from mixing, which ensures consistent damping performance, resists heat fade during heavy use, and provides smoother, more controlled operation compared to twin-tube designs.
The Bilstein B6 Sport Dampers come with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
The Bilstein B6 Sport dampers are designed to be firmer than stock. If the ride is excessively harsh, ensure they are correctly installed and compatible with your vehicle's existing suspension components. Check that no other suspension parts are worn or damaged.
Check that all mounting bolts are properly tightened. Inspect rubber bushings and mounts for wear or damage. Ensure there is no interference with other components.
While rare due to the robust monotube design, prolonged heavy use or impact damage can affect performance. Inspect for any physical damage or leaks. Contact customer support if performance degradation is suspected.
Compatibility: This specific model (24-298995) is designed for the Ford Fiesta MK7, including the 1.5 ST variant. Dampers are sold individually; ensure you purchase the correct quantity for your vehicle's needs (typically two for the rear). For certain vehicles, an insert style damper may be supplied instead of a complete strut, or an uprated twin-tube damper might be provided to match performance targets.
Setup: Installation of shock absorbers is a critical safety procedure. It is highly recommended that this product be installed by a qualified mechanic. Proper alignment after installation is essential.
Care: To ensure longevity and performance, periodically inspect the shock absorbers for signs of leaks or damage. Keep the surrounding suspension components clean, free from excessive dirt and road salt, especially during winter months. Avoid using high-pressure washers directly on the shock absorber body.
