I am in contact with Bilstein and they developed a new 9-way adjustable coilover system for S2000.
The price is $1299 and we can order it from the US distributor Turner Motorsport at 1-800-280-6966 (info and sales)

Bilstein Info:

The Bilstein PSS 9 Suspension provides the ultimate in performance tuning. The fully-adjustable monotube gas shock absorbers offer a selection of nine precise compression and rebound settings, from comfort to competition. The front and rear progressive rate springs allow accurate adjustment of the vehicle ride height and center of gravity for the level of performance you seek. Now you can enjoy the kind of precise suspension tuning formerly available only on race cars. The PSS 9 system puts you in complete control. Whether it's a weekend of competition or the daily commute, absolute handling and control are just a few twists away.





The PSS system is adjustable 45/45 mm and the PSS9 35/35 mm.

In Germany Bilstein is "top of the line" but they are not well known in the US.

Is this price for all four coilovers? If so, that's an amazing deal, since they list for $899 each on the Bilstein web site.

Sky-Chicken, please email me at hesel@artsci.com. I'm definitely interested in these.

The price is for the set and $899 (B14 PSS) the special price for all four coilovers (before it was $1700).
The $1299 is for a set of four B16 PSS9

Upon examining the picture and reading the description, it looks like the height adjustment is NOT fully independent from the spring compression (fully threaded body), like the Tein RE, JIC, and Zeal. Not that it's an absolutely necessary feature, but just so you know what you're getting.

Sky-Chicken,

If we want to purchase these, do we order from you or just call the 800 number you posted?
