I am thinking about changing out my eibach springs and going into a full coil over system.

I did not like the H&R coilovers on my Audi so i am trying to decide whether Bilstein's are the ones to go with.

Thank you all.

 

i had PSS9 on my e46 M3 and was great. i also have heard good things about PSS9 on other cars as well. you should PM Arling (lucent). he is a sponsor and can give you some advise as well as selling you one.

 

Do you have a PASM or non-PASM car?

 

This is for Non PASM.

 

I have non PASM PSS9's and I think they are great. The ONLY thing I don't like about them is the height restriction. I may get JIC's or KW's in the near future so I can lower my car more, but for everybody else these go down just fine. The ride is great, and it really feels much more 'tuned' than the stock setup. I think they are a great street coilover for occasional track use, but the general consensus around here is that JIC's, KW's Moton's etc are better for track applications. Here's a pic for reference regarding ride height:

 

V35,

Is that the lowest setting you have in that photo? Thanks for the feedback.

 

I have KWV3s, and I would never trade them for PSS9s, but I would trade my KWs for Motons!!!

 

I believe that they are just about the lowest maybe a couple threads left.

 

I have PSS9's, they're great. As for the ride height, if my car was any lower it would undriveable on the street

 

Carrera 69,

Is it a carbon wing you have on the rear spoiler? I also see you have the vent on top of the hood. Is it cosmetic or do you lead the air for the center air intake go trough the vent. If so,

Could you post some more pictures of your rear wing and front bumper?

 

No it's not carbon. The bumper is an OEM cup car bumper, air flows in the front and out the top.

 

Carrera69,

Do you have a front radiator that is painted black?

 

FWIW..... I called Bilstein this afternoon and asked some guy in Tech if there was any difference in spring rates between the PSS9's for PSM, and the 9-way adjustable PSS9's. He looked it up and said the spring rates were identical.

I then asked him if he could elaborate how the 2 electronic settings available on the PSS9's for PSM (B-16 Damptronics) compared to the 9 settings on the regular adjustable shocks. Unfortunately he couldn't answer and referred me to a tech on the East Coast who had already closed up for the day. I'll call him in the AM and post the results.....

 

Another PSS9 question. Will the car bottom out on real hard turns (think track) if it is lowered to something like GT3 ride height?

 

No, there's no radiator in there yet, but it will be a future project.
