Default New Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers are Here!

Just landed this morning guys and we've got 'em ready to go!

The new PSS10 is a step up from where the PSS9 left off. Adding an extra level of dampening adjustment (now 10 total clicks of adjustment front and rear), these units have monotube dampers, fully galvanized housings, and feature spring rates of 370 lbs front, and a progressive rear rate of 240-420 lbs rear.

The biggest change to the PSS10 vs the 9 is the adjustment **** - the new **** is much easier to use, with larger numbers. Since the size increased, it's now easier to feel the adjustment clicks as well. They also added an additional level of adjustment. Total span of adjustment between full stiff and full soft is approximately 30%. These are the ideal coilover for someone who wants the ability to adjust height and dampening, but who also demands a quiet, solid, european inspired ride (firm, but well controlled, without being rigid and unforgiving).



We are pricing them at $1895 shipped in the 48 states

To order, just give us a call at 631-863-3820

Spring rates are listed, so you're free to compare them to whomever else you want. Just realize that it will tell you much of anything quite honestly - spring rate comparisons are only truly meaningful when they are on the same damper. Comparing the rates of one manufacturer to another when each uses their own damper, valving specs, etc, is pretty much worthless

How do you adjust these exactly? Is there a seperate **** for the front and rear or is adjustment only on the front. Also, is it compatible with the EDC system? If so, how much with EDC? Thx

the dampening adjustments are at the bottom of the rear each damper and the top of the front - each one has it's own adjustment ****

there is no electronic adjustment offered nor planned according to Bilstein

Ohhhhh baby! Now I can only hope the Canadian dollar shoots back up (we've gone down 20 cents, 20 cents, in about 2 months). I want these.

they allow for approximately a 1.5 inch drop up front and back. If you want to go lower in the rear you can remove one of the lower spring locks and gain another ~3-4 mm

So how did they move the adjustment to the bottom on the fronts? Did they make slit's or window's above the lower mouting leg's to view and adjust a dial or is it a dial on the side of the shock body above the lower mounts legs like how Koni DA shocks adjust compression?

Adam,
What are the main differences between these and the BC Racing Coilovers?
