I have the Bilstein coilovers. The front shocks are damped for a softer ride than stock. My problem is with the rear shocks. Since we all sit nearer to the rear suspension, the Bilsteins do not give a softer ride than stock.
Actually, what's annoying is the bounciness of the rear stock shocks. I thought the PSS system would eliminate the tendency of the car to wallow over uneven surfaces. It does not.
I am still experimenting on several preloads for the rear springs, since this is the only way to fine tune the ride. So far, too much preloading can cause excessive "bounciness." While insufficient preloading causes the ride to be harsh. The trick is to get the proper spring height, load the rear shocks to that height and hopefully the bounciness disappears.
In my opinion, the Bilsteins are good only for adjusting the height of the car. If you want to soften up the ride, just put a sack of rice or dog food at the trunk. This should work wonders on making the rear suspension less jumpy. Of course, acceleration will suffer.
Let you guys know if preloading the rear PSS shock system helps.
