Bilstein Ford Capri B6 sport damper upgrades

Bilstein, the hugely respected suspension manufacturer has released a finely-engineered damper upgrade for Ford’s superbly tweakable Capri in all of its three incarnations from 1969 through to 1985. As one of the most tuned, restored and fettled of all of the blue-ovalled cars, the Capri benefits significantly from an improved damping set-up, making it faster through the turns and more rewarding to drive. In the case of the 3.0 versions, it’s also a great way to help tame a wayward rear end!

Although Ford endowed the Capri with fairly decent handling from the factory, Bilstein has used its enviable knowledge and experience to create the ultimate upgrade that maintains the character and comfort of the original car, but with a sharper focus on handling precision. Bilstein’s B6 Sport damper package helps to significantly enhance the dynamic abilities of the Capri, working in perfect harmony with either the OEM springs and leaves or any quality aftermarket offerings. With the factory units now doubtless very tired and performing below par, the Bilstein B6 Sport units will help to create a ‘better than new’ feel in ride and handling terms.

The Bilstein B6 range is designed for those looking for more damping capability, with improved handling and reduced squat and dive, without ruining everyday ride comfort. Using the very latest in Bilstein gas pressure technology and precision twin-tube construction, each unit is hand finished in Bilstein’s German factory to surpass even the most stringent of OEM production standards.

Offering significantly greater service life than the standard part, the Bilstein B6 dampers also increase active safety through more efficient braking and better traction. Ideal as service replacements, or the perfect way to improve a cherished car, prices start at £139.13 + VAT.
