I just looked over the instructions that came with the Bilstein PSS coilovers and it didnt mention anything about preloading the springs. It does tell me to preload the suspenion but nothing about the coilovers itself. This if my first time installing coilovers and I'm unfamiliar with preloading coilovers. Does anyone have any experience with installing bilsteins?

i dont think you need any preloading to install these

I think the only reason to preload would be to make sure all of the orignal factory bolts are able to be retorqued to spec. I've installed two or three sets of coilovers on the S, and I never preloaded the suspension. I just dropped the factory suspension out and put the new suspension in place. Bilstein is no different than any other coilover.

you might need to preload installing the front upper arm.
