Bilstein 22-247261 B6 Performance Front Left Strut for 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 RWD

Vehicle Fitment

• 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 (W20 Chassis, RWD) - All Trims

Fitment Notes

• Front left (driver side) only - this is a position-specific strut; order one unit for the driver side only
• For the front right (passenger side) strut, see Bilstein 22-247278
• RWD (rear-wheel drive) - the Toyota MR2 is a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car; front struts are the non-driven axle
• B6 Performance upgrade - designed as a performance improvement over stock dampers while retaining factory ride quality; use with OE factory springs - no spring replacement required
• Not recommended for use with lowering springs - calibrated specifically for factory MR2 spring rates and geometry
• Factory shock mounting bolts are reused during installation - all necessary hardware included; mounting plates sold separately if required

Features

• Bilstein B6 Performance product line - a meaningful performance upgrade over OE stock dampers delivering sharper response, improved cornering control, and better vehicle stability while retaining daily-driver comfort
• Monotube gas pressure design - single-tube construction provides superior heat dissipation, faster damper response, and more consistent damping vs. twin-tube units; the preferred design for performance-oriented applications
• Application-specific valve calibration - individually tuned valve settings developed specifically for the Toyota MR2's front suspension geometry, spring rates, and mid-engine weight distribution
• Works seamlessly with factory OE springs - no spring replacement, modification, or additional hardware required for installation
• Fade-free performance under sustained or repeated compression cycles - gas pressure technology prevents oil foaming and maintains consistent damping force during spirited driving
• Bilstein quality - individually tested to meet or exceed OE standards; the same engineering precision applied to Bilstein's motorsport and OEM programs

Product Description

The Bilstein 22-247261 is a B6 Performance front left (driver side) strut assembly designed as a direct performance upgrade for the 1991-1995 Toyota MR2 (W20 chassis). It replaces the factory front damper with Bilstein's monotube gas pressure unit featuring application-specific valve calibration developed specifically for the MR2's front suspension geometry and mid-engine weight distribution - delivering sharper steering response, improved cornering control, and better chassis composure without requiring spring changes or modification.

The B6 Performance line sits above the B4 OE Replacement in Bilstein's lineup - where the B4 restores factory ride quality, the B6 Performance improves upon it while maintaining daily-driver comfort and full compatibility with the factory springs. The monotube design's superior heat dissipation ensures fade-free performance under sustained spirited driving conditions, making it an ideal choice for MR2 owners who use their car both on the street and on track days. The companion front right strut is Bilstein 22-247278. Coil springs, top mounts, and strut bearings are not included and should be inspected when servicing the struts.
