Bilstein B16 PSS10 coilovers?

Rusty · 07-28-2012, 11:20 PM

Like the title says. Anyone have any knowledge of these? The Bilstein B16 PSS10 coilover's? I searched, and only found a little info on them way back when they first came out. But nothing since. Opinions on them are welcome. I'm putting together a list of possible coilovers for me to pick from later on. I like to do my research on them.

I have never seen anything on these. You are probably best off with the KW V3s.

No personal experience but they look great.

I had these on my MY03 STi - they are the ducks-guts .........

Worth the price or not?

Ducks-guts is Oz-speak for really, really good

I'm a real fan of Bilstein's short of going seriously expensive with Ohlins or Penske or the really exotic quad-adjustable stuff (independent adjustment of hi and lo speed bump and rebound) which only gives you bragging rights on a DD or occasional trackday car.

Personally speaking (and with my racer biased hat firmly on), I'd do the PSS10 kit ahead of KWv3 for instance, but as always, there is much about selecting spring/damper packages which is personal in the extreme, so one man's favourite could be another man's poison.

Coming from the Honda S2000 world, lots of guys swear buy these. I assume they would be just as good for the Z. They are supposed to handle really well while maintaining great ride comfort.

Rode in some M3's with these they were awesome, comfortable and extremely composed. It is what I want to run, but the Z and the G are referred to the same setup. Not sure if Bilstein just assumed they are the same car even though the G is a whole lot heavier.

they look really nice! almost like the CUSCO ones.

KW3 should be on your top list! ^^

They are on my list. Along with a few others. The reason I asked about the Bilsteins is that I have them on my Power Wagon. I have custom valved 7100's on it. And I really like them.

I've only been on stock, BC ERs, and JRZ RS1s so to some degree I'm comparing apples and oranges but I'm now a firm believer of getting what you pay for on coilovers.
