Is everyone with PSS-9's getting new springs? If not... what are you going to do?

I have heard that there are refunds (not an option as labor is a b!tch and I want the springs on). Or some kind of redesign (how and what?).

Most Certainly...
I plan to have my springs replaced. Hope they aren't rushing to another faulty design. Although my springs are collapsed my car handles superb. I haven't heard of a refund but if that is an option labor should be included.

your car should handle superbly
i am on the list mainly for the increased spring rate. the spring is just like it was when it was stock, they're not collapsing. they do sit in coilbind, which IS a weird design. they DO get clunking under hard, quick compressions...which is stupid and the other reason i want the new ones. i've never been into progressive springs and am excited about the new ones being stiffer and linear.

I talked with Bilstein today and they say the springs are not faulty.
They are actually testing to see what causes the clunking sound. I have one that clunks and the other one does not.
Bilstein says they will replace the springs if the clunking cannot be fixed.
I had a very long discussion and felt it was not good to pitch a fit, but listen. As a mechanical engineer I cannot imagine a design where three coils sit on top of each other, but Bilstein said H&R purposely designed it that way. The odd thing is that H&R is redesigning the spring.
I want the clunking to go away and I want non rusting springs that behave as springs should.
