Cool Bilstein PSS9 Short Review & Pics

Big thanks AGAIN to Joey (itS2Krazy) for the install. Total time took about 4 hours to install and adjust the height. Everyone go to him! Great guy. Great prices. Great job! Alright Joey, there's my plug for you. Haha

I have no idea how much it was lowered but I have about a 2 finger gap all around. I might want to go a little lower but not just yet. I'm still playing around with the settings but right now it's on 9 (softest) in the front and 8 in the rear. Overall, I am completely satisfied with the coilovers. The ride is comparable to stock. It's a little softer at the softest setting but it's not dramatic. The handling hasn't changed. Pretty smooth ride. I was able to drive it home from SF to SJ after the install. No clicking noises or anything at all. It was wet last night so I couldn't take any hard corners.

I'm sure glad I got these instead of some cheap springs that would strike a blow to my stomach everytime I go over a bump.

I forgot to bring my camera no so pictures during the install.

Just for kicks - This is how big the hardtop box is!
