I'm happy to say that we (Import Development) now carry Bilstein's PSS coilover system for the S2K. Here's an excerpt from Bilstein's website:

The Bilstein PSS Suspension allows you to adjust your vehicle's ride height without the expense of the fully adjustable damping system.

This system features both coilover and standard monotube gas pressure shocks with performance level valving along with application specific, progressive rate coil springs. The PSS system lets you set your car low and tight for optimum performance or back to a more stock like ride height and handling characteristics. Ride height adjustments can be made on the vehicle without removing the suspension. The solid aluminum spring seat and lock nut allows a selective adjustment of the vehicle's ride height. Spring travel and vehicle body height change, but the spring seat remains pre-loaded throughout the allowable range of adjustment.

Model number: HE5-8038-M0

That's all the info that I have for now. Intro pricing is currently set at $998, shipping is included (aka free). The PSS retails for up to $1790

Warranty info: http://www.bilstein.com/warranty.html

What's my opinion? I think this is a great entry level setup, and Bilstein is a well respected company known for their suspension products. The only drawback I can see is the lack of damper adjustments like the Zeal B2/B6 series, but they are more expensive. However, if you're looking for an affordable adjustable coilover system with dampers that are specifically designed and matched to the changes in ride height, this is a good choice.

Please let me know if you guys are interested.

Richard --

You are killing me with these deals! It is a good thing...

Can you give us an idea of how long this price will be available?

Thanks -- looking forward to my other goodies!
