Bilstein PSS9 B14 vs PSS10 B16 coilovers.
« on: May 05, 2012, 11:13:17 am »
Ok so I am considering the above coilovers.
I have some good advice from GNJ but anybody got either.
Im leaning towards PSS9 without the adjustmentfor damping as I dont do track days.
Any advice would be great as the 10's are a lot of money more.

Yes it would seem that wouldnt it but I drove a members with the pss10 and I fell in love.
Im just trying to find out what setting he had it on.
I believe the pss9 is set the equivalent of 5 on the 10's?
It would be nice to be able to turn the damping right down if too harsh.

I was going to suggest b12 set I use but they have no adjustments at all. However they are great straight from the box, no need for corner weighting as it was already done for you and great for both road and track for much less money as the above. Adjustability is great if you can take full advantage of it but only if properly set up. Any changes you would want to make you would have get a professional to do for you

However with bilstein you can't got wrong so whichever you choose you'd be happy with

Not considering a set of KW's?

I have just had a set of V2's on with VW top mounts and it's on rails. Total rails (when i can find a dryish road).

Slightly, if only slightly harsher ride than standard but looks ace on the car park and have adjustable bound/rebound and stainless steel dampers so no corrosion worries (in theroy).

The issue is with this when asking for opinions my idea handling on rails and ride quality will probably differ from yours.
