Im using Bilstein Coilovers and they're on sale
ride is almost the same, but a little, very little harsher
height not as low as you'd think, but enough
Sale means like half price

As far as I can tell from the information on the Comptech site, these will do nothing more (for a cost of $2,900) than the Bilstein PSS9s we are trying to arrange a group buy for (for under $1,300). Admittedly, the Bilsteins are not yet available, but when they are, persuade me why anyone should spend the extra $1,600?

In speaking to Bilstein as well as Turner Motorsports (who's a major Bilstein distributor/dealer), the PSS9's aren't valved very aggressively. Basically, I was told that if I want to do anything more than hot lapping and auto-x, the PSS9's were not the best choice. Ohlins, judging from their reputation and impressions that friend's have gotten (they've driven some cars w/ Ohlins suspension), they are full track-ready dampers. Perhaps not worth the price for most ppl, but should certainly outhandle the PSS9's under any serious track duty.

Bilstein is perfect for a daily/aggressive driver who wants a much lower and better handling car.
I had Bilstein PSS on my S2000 before, I now have kg/mm DR21 racesprings (trying to sell my car), and there is a huge difference between just springs and Bilstein PSS, go for the Bilstein!!!
