Bilstein B8 (SP) 85-89 Merkur XR4Ti Base L4 2.3L Rear 46mm Monotube Shock Absorber

If you're looking to get the most out of your 1985-1989 Merkur XR4Ti, especially if you've installed lowering springs, this Bilstein B8 rear shock absorber is a solid choice. It's built to work hand-in-hand with those shorter springs, giving you a sportier feel and better control without sacrificing too much comfort. Bilstein is well-known for their quality, and these shocks are no exception, designed to meet or even beat factory standards.

The monotube design is a key feature here. It helps dissipate heat better than traditional twin-tube shocks, which means more consistent performance, especially during spirited driving or when the suspension is working hard. Bilstein tunes these dampers specifically for the XR4Ti, so you get a setup that's ready to improve your car's handling right out of the box when paired with lowering springs. You'll notice a more connected feel to the road, enhancing both safety and the overall driving experience.
