I was wondering if anyone has input/feedback/reviews on Bilstein coilovers. Both Pss and Pss9. I will be ordering coilovers within the next few weeks and wanted some information on these coilovers. I already did countless searches and did not find that much feedback.

Some info:

-It's my daily driver
-I like a stiff ride
-I will be auto-x'ing

Please help, thanks

 

If I remember... they're pretty soft.

bilstein is good but it's for euro cars... i prefer to stick w/ Japanese parts for a Japanese cars. Just my 2 cents.

 

I remember reading some posts on this forum, somebody mentioned most Japanese made/design coilovers overheat quite easily on the track. And that's why Amuse is using Bilstein.

Correct me if I am wrong.

i keep hearing that japansese shocks are no good and i have had good experience with bilstein in the past on my mercedes.

How soft are they, i know the spring rates are 345 front and 285 rear.
would the dampening adjustablity on the pss9 make it a lot stiffer?

 

from what i read in those links, the bilstein coilovers both pss and pss9 seem to be a bit on the soft side and do not seem to have a great adjustability range for the height. I was also considering Buddy Club RS coilovers but am skeptical b/c i want a coilover that will be reliable, well made, and from what i hear japanese coilovers are not the best unless you spend $2,000+.

Are buddy clubs reliable?

 

Amuse Coilovers are made by Bilstein.

 

No offense but alot of Japanese shocks are complete crap for US roads...plus some of the best performing shocks are USDM/EDM.

Another shock to consider depending on price range is the KW. Very capable, very well damped shocks. If you want to AutoX a fair amount consider the extra expense.

 

My PSS coilovers are great. Nice and firm, and you do notice a difference from the stock setup. VERY good in my opinion
