Kits for any Fiesta, ST included
Code: Not in the kit names
Good to know: BC's kit is named "Fiesta FWD (Includes 2014-2019 Fiesta ST FWD)" and comes in all five BC series. Ksport's kit name says "Fiesta, Incl. ST."
Ford Fiesta and Fiesta ST Coilovers
We carry Ford Fiesta and Fiesta ST coilovers, nine kits in all. The ST is a Fiesta, but not every Fiesta kit fits it. Two kits fit both cars, two do not fit the ST, and the rest are ST only.
Not sure which kits fit your Fiesta or ST? Call 1-800-460-9106.

Ford Fiesta ST
Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.
Kits for the ST, the base car or both
Two things to check: ST or not, and the year
Two questions decide which kit fits.
ST or base car
BC and Ksport make one kit for both. Bilstein and KW sell separate ST and non-ST kits.
Model year
Most kits run to 2019. Fortune Auto's ST kit ends at 2018.
Feal's kit years
Feal's ST kit name shows older years. We will check it against your car.
BC Racing coilovers, Fiesta and ST
One BC kit for both cars
BC Racing coilovers for the Ford Fiesta and Fiesta ST come in five series: BR, DS, ER, RM and ZX. All five come on its one kit, which also fits the ST. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.
Five BC series for the Fiesta
They run from daily driver setups to track setups.
BR and DS
BR sets compression and rebound together with one 30-click knob. DS keeps the knob and adds a digressive piston.
RM
This is an upside-down single-tube shock built for MacPherson strut cars.
ER and ZX
ER is an upright shock with an external oil reservoir and 30 clicks each for compression and rebound, set separately. For hard track use, BC calls ZX its most track-tested series.

Before you buy: what Fiesta ST owners run into
Here is what Fiesta ST owners report most often on owner forums, in recalls and in service bulletins, and what each point means for your coilovers.
Firm, busy factory ride
Fiesta ST, 2014 to 2019
What Car? calls the ST's ride harsh and crashy around town and says 2016 and 2017 cars ride a little better. evo calls it taut over bumps with a lively rear end after turn-in. Many owners shopping for Fiesta ST coilovers want better control without making the ride harsher.
Before you install: Tell us how you use the car so we can talk through spring rates and damper settings before you order.
No factory rear camber adjustment
Fiesta and Fiesta ST, 2011 to 2019
On FiestaSTForum, owners say the twist beam rear has no camber adjustment, so they use hub shims, washers or cut and rewelded hubs. Coilovers adjust the front only. Some warn shims can pull the rear ABS sensor away from its ring. Lowering on coilovers will not let you set rear camber.
Before you install: Plan any rear camber change before the install, and check the ABS sensor gap if rear shims are used.
