Default Does anyone know anything about the Bilstein PSS-9 coilovers?

Supposedly the coilovers are out for TT's and they will be out for A4's and S4's in a "few" months is what Bilstein said. Does anybody have them or know anybody that has them? Even if they are on a VW, that's fine with me. I just want to know how they perform, ride, and the difference in firmness settings. Thanks for any information.

Default They'll be about 3k..

Last time I checked (Jan/Feb?) they were still under development but should out anytime now. There will be two different 'kits' for the car; i.e.: Varient 1 and 2. The same lifetime warranty applies. That is all I currrently know about them.

Default Average MSRP for kits out now is about $2200...

But that is MSRP. The MSRP on my H&R Ultras was about $2100, but I didn't pay that much. Hopefully there will be generous discounts once they've been out for a while. I'd really like to get those babies on my car=)

Default What's the deal with the ultra's?

Is the ride uncomfortable or too aggressive for your area?

Default Yeah, that's exactly it....

I live in Houston,TX and the freeway where I live is under MAJOR construction and will be for the next couple of years. They ride really good in Austin, TX. I'd keep them if I lived somewhere that had roads like they do.

Although, after going back to stock I don't like the look of my car anymore. I feel like I'm popping wheelies at stoplights too with the soggy non-sport suspension=)

Default I had a loaner car that handled the same..

way. Geez that must stink. The bilstein kit should be nice though, given the softer spring rating. LOL.. popping wheelies.
