And of course if i would have thought about this earlier and did the math... that means they are using a 70mm spring.

So there is a non-adjustable Bilstein for the S? The PSS series?


FYI, this is a good bit of reading I found over on Honda-Tech

Have you had a chance to try them?

I did my first Auto X on the PSS's and I did terrible but that was my fault, the shocks aren't that bad considering the extremely soft spring rates.

What spring rates did you end up using? Did you have Bilstein do the revalve?

Still snow on the ground up here in MI. My car wont be put back together till the end of this month. Still have to send some stuff out to the machine shop to get the 2.5" springs to work.

Marcus@margravemotorsports did the conversion and revalve.

Bummer about the snow.

What did they convert? Did they add a nitrogen port?

By conversion I mean, add the schrader valve to make it rebuildable.

I didn't take any pics but I can, what did you need or did you just need a generic pic of everything?

im curious how the 8" springs fit. i have everything semi assembled but dont think i can use 8" springs. I think i have to goto at least 6". with the 8 assembled the spring perch is all the way down and the tender springs are all the way compressed.
