Hopefully Bilstein have fixed the failing top bush issue they have had for some time.
Definately a design fault on the PS6/9 range but havent heard about probs with the coilovers so far.
A few of the bimmer forum lads sent theirs back, and I scrapped mine.
The top bush around the piston seal starts to rattle and chaffes off the chrome coating on the rod eventually.
Worth keeping an eye on what's going on under the gaitors.

The Lotus Elise (and early 911s) has non adjustable Bilsteins with no problems that I know of.

When I said I was getting 17s, she said why spend the money, they are wheels and they’ll still just go round
I think she liked it that our friend John Whalley (ex Lancia Integrale rally champion) said that he prefers handling on the 16s.Although she is happy for me and loves the feel of my car with the Bilsteins, I doubt she’ll do the same. She likes the fact that she’s faster than me without any modifications.
I have fond memories of listening to your K&N on the way back from Italy

I loved the sound of your K&N on the way back from Euro Meet too RevRanger. I wanted an induction kit but when I looked into it discovered that there was the possibility of a slight power loss. It's for that reason that I don't run with the airbox lid off. I'm told that the power loss is not discernible but it doesn't do my head any good.
Saz's car does look and sound very
now. The stance is really sweet from the rear. I think what she has done to it really suits her. It rides beautifully.
However, I think that my unmodified S with me, a woman of a certain age, driving it is the epitome of stealth. We get our kicks where we can, especially at my time of life.
Hope it won't be too long before I get to drive the beautiful Dales in your company again RR.
