Rick, I am not a selling Bilstein. I am also member of s2ki.de and they talked about the new PSS9 from Bilstein.
All distributors are here :http://bilstein.com/links.html
I talked to "Bilsteinshocks.com (800) 280-6966" (Turner Motorsport) and they told me the price for the S2000 ($899 for B14 Pss)

I just got off the phone with Turner and the guy I talked to said the PSS 9s were not available in the US, only the PSS, so now I'm confused.

Sorry about the confusion. The new PSS9 are just released (this November in Germany) and they cost $1299 here in USA. I talked to the guy at Turner and he did not know about it but he is contacting Bilstein in Germany. I'm German and I wrote to Bilstein in Germany and they wrote back yesterday that I can buy the PSS9 in Germany and in the USA. However the US distributors are slightly "behind" and I told him about the product and they checked the part number (GM5-8865) and than the told me that this is a new product and they have to check on this.
The other model B14 PSS (HE5-8038) is only height adjustable and cost $899 (was $1899)

I think that I am going to order from Bilstein Germany (16 PSS9) . PM me if you like to jump on it.

Rick Hesel

I have PM turned off. Email (hesel@artsci.com) me your phone number/email address so I can contact you. I think I'm in for this.

Can you explain what disadvantages this has or what I lose?

$1299 at list price does seem like a great deal for the PSS9's.

I spent some track time recently with a friend hwo installed them on his 993 C4S. He is very happy with them.

Any sponsors want to pick up on this?

I would love to buy them here in the US and avoid have to buy them in Germany.

They are the ultimate set up for the German cars. I know alot of guys with VW's who swear by these things. Until recently, I didn't know how cheap coilovers were for the Hondas, compared to what is available for the VW's/Audis. I had the H&R cupkit on my A4, and it definitely killed the fender gap. I never had an aftermarket susp. till then, and the only thing I really didn't like was that the ride quality suffered a bit.

Can someone say "Group buy"?

Bilstein makes many OEM shocks for Toyota and GM. Toyota TRD shocks are just rebadged Bilsteins. I have a set on my truck. I am sure that my experiences with these would not relate to the S2000. But I have to say they are great shocks.

I would love to have a set. If someone decides to organize a group buy I would be interested.

Also, If someone orders them and gets them installed fairly soon, would you please report back and tell us what you think?
