POWAY, CA. – More Crossover utility drivers will soon be able to get a little further off the ground and enjoy the perfect ride, both on and off-road.
BILSTEIN is pleased to announce the B8 TerraSport direct fit shocks for the fourth-gen Subaru Outback (BR) and the fifth-gen (BS) CUVs will be available in September and October 2023. These BILSTEIN shocks are designed to increase ground clearance, lift vehicle by 1 to 2 inches, depending on the application, and improve off-road capability for CUVs.
The B8 TerraSport was originally introduced at the Overland Expo West May 19-21 in Flagstaff, Arizona with fitments for the 2015-2020 Jeep Renegade, 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 models and 2013-2017 Subaru Crosstrek models.
Built with Bilstein’s Patented digressive valving, which instantly reacts to changing surface conditions, off-roading enthusiasts can safely traverse backcountry terrain without sacrificing ride comfort or quality. And owners can enjoy savings since B8 TerraSport shocks offer a more affordable option than lift spacers/springs.
Current vehicle availability includes Jeep Renegade, Toyota RAV4 (4th Gen), Subaru XV/Crosstrek (GP + GT), and the Subaru Forester (SH). Future applications for the Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, Ford Bronco Sport, Ford Maverick, Honda Passport, and Kia Telluride are in development.
