Did you have the UK settings prior to pss9?

What's the real advantages of having UK settings? I'm assuming that it's more agressive, but does it reduce the oversteer of the s2k? I'm asking b/c I've been reading more about the UK settings.

thanks for the info!
You'll like the UK alignment -- it gives you a more predictable platform to work with b/c with the additional camber, you get use more of the tire in a corner, giving you additional grip. Your wear won't be that bad...bad toe will scrub more tire usually than camber.

Anyone still have manual for Bilstein PSS9?

I lost mine, could anyone scan it and send it to my email? (eriktufa@gmai.com)

Thanks in advance for whoever willing to help me.

Just looked at TireRack...they've got the best price on these that I've seen so far. I'm deffinately considering these coilovers pretty heavily, but I want to know what downfalls there are to them if any.

I currently have Tein S.Tech springs and Koni Yellow shocks. I love the way the car rides and handles, but I can't stand that it only takes me 10 seconds per corner to adjust the front and pass. side rear, but then it takes me 15 minutes to adjust the driver side rear.

It sounds like these are far easier to adjust, but how about the ride height settings? Is this a difficult thing to work with?

I don't think there would be any difference in adjusting dampening but you can fine tune to drop

I just ordered me a set on Tuesday. I can't wait...



One more question, do many of you have the stock alignment with this coilovers? I'm just wondering how it is with stock setting.

Nice, but it has a optimal operating height and I think you're past it
