Bilstein Coilover fitment for 2016 and coil options in general

Does anyone know whether the model #47-242043 will fit to 2016s?
These coilovers are special order from the manufacturer so returns most likely wont be accepted. So I would like to make sure before I order them.

My goal is to increase handling, get rid of the wheel gap and minimize the back and forth rock under heavy acceleration. She is my daily and may participate in AutoX events but that is about it. She will not be tracked.I am also not bothered by the stock suspension harshness. I think it feels great.
Also, considering the BC Coilovers as well but I had them on my STi and honestly I was not impressed with how they handled. Also, I cannot justify spending more on Taiwanese made coils as opposed to German ones. Open to suggestions.

I'd love to know as well. Spoke to Bilstein today and all the representative could tell me is that "they haven't been tested on 2016 models."

Looks like one of the OEM 2014-16 struts share the same part # - "FORD OEM 14-16 Fiesta Front Suspension-Strut D2BZ18124B" so 2014-15 B14s should work, right? I didn't check all of the related parts yet.

Glad you like them; they look like quality units. I trust Bilstein over all others as I have been running B8 HD struts/shocks on another car for over 125k miles and they are still perfect. I don't plan to touch them ever again, and if I do, then they have a limited lifetime warranty.
