Product Description

The Bilstein 35-249467 is a B6 Performance Front Left strut assembly engineered specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and WRX STI (VA chassis) -- covering both the 2.0L FA20DIT-powered WRX and the 2.5L EJ257-powered STI in AWD configuration. The B6 Performance line is Bilstein's premium street-tuned monotube gas-pressure damper, designed to deliver sharper steering response, tighter cornering control, and noticeably improved ride composure over the factory dampers -- while pairing seamlessly with the OE factory springs (no additional modifications required) and preserving the daily-driver comfort that makes the VA-chassis WRX/STI so livable.

The 36mm monotube gas-pressure design dissipates heat more effectively than twin-tube alternatives, resisting damping fade through extended hard driving -- whether that's spirited canyon runs, track day use, autocross, or back-road commuting. Each strut features vehicle-specific calibrated valving developed and tested by Bilstein for the VA WRX/STI platform, delivering balanced compression and rebound characteristics that complement the chassis's rally-bred personality. The strut is also fully compatible with mild lowering springs such as the Eibach Pro-Kit, making it an excellent foundation for staged suspension builds. This is the Front Left (driver side) position -- sold individually. Order the matching Front Right (passenger side) Bilstein 35-249474 to complete the front axle. Yellow Bilstein finish. Backed by Bilstein's industry-leading limited lifetime warranty on gas-pressure shocks.
