I'm curious why for the fronts it says "twintube" but for rear it says "monotube". Perhaps a typo as I thought all B8's were monotube design.
But bring it on please Bilstein!

I'm just over here waiting for the B16s

Me too

Wondering if we will see these stateside? Maybe @mountune will do a clubsport for the FiST.

Anyone hear of anything recently on these in the US?

 

[M-Sport fan]

Are these rebound and compression adjustable, or are they just a very good street upgrade over the stockers, valved for a slightly higher rate spring than stock??

Bilstein HDs were nothing to write home about in the 4th gen f body world, WHY I'm asking.

Any word on this? Looking for a replacement set of dampers without having to buy the coil over version. Wish they would develop a replacement damper specific for the ST and not a generic damper for all Fiesta's as the springs are differing rates. If they can match the ST spring to a monotube damper it would be useful.

 

[SeanBonham]

I want to know the same. I can't find a way to email Bilstein USA.

i assume that the sports and str.t's will fit and more than likely be fine for a daily driver. Ill probably end up going with the str.t's since i dont need the adjustment.

Bilstein USA doesn't have email. You'll have to call them directly.

 

[SeanBonham]

What a modern company they must be...

Do we know for fact that the Koni Sports are valved to a range for the lower rate 'base' Fiesta springs, or do they 'cover' the factory ST springs AND maybe even some slightly higher rate (Swift for example) in their set compression, and adjustable rebound 'range' of valving?

I think that Lee Grimes needs to be called about this tomorrow.

 

[kevinatfms]

Anyone heard any update on this? Any chance they are bringing them to the US market? I want the regular Bilstiens without the coilover adjustment(staying with stock springs).

 

[KKaWing]

The US site catalogue is finally updated! Oh the tease!!

Rear German Bilstein B8 shocks paired with German ST Springs. No issues, noises, etc. I used the hardware that came with the Bilsteins. Front struts going on soon, stay tooned.

on the ground.

OE shock rod diameter is 12.5mm, Bilstein rod diameter is 14mm
