    OR

    Bilstein PSS9 brand new 1400€ - 2160$
    from BalanceMotorsport.co.uk


    Please consider US prices are lower than European ones.
    The Pss9 at that price are the LESS EXPENSIVE in the whole Europe.



    Your opinion would be much appreciated.
    Thank you,

    That's hard, but with that low miles on them they are practically brand new.
    I personally would take V3 over PSS9, even though they are both great suspensions.

    Never been in a car with Kw's, but I know the PSS9s are a little harsh. But then, I did have my set on 6 outta 9, with 9 being the softest.

    The KW3's are a smoother riding coil over the Pss9's, but the pss9's are much easier to change compression/dampening settings with the assembly still on the car.

    Re: Used KW V3 or brand new Bilstein PSS9 ??

    I just set my PSS9's to 3 in front, and 4 in the rear...they're a little rough, but not nearly as bad as I had guessed they would be. All in all, I've been very pleased with the Bilstein's.

    When you buy used your taking your chances, even with low miles, who knows what those used coil-overs have been threw. PSS9s FTW
    AWE, GIAC, Stasis,KO4s, bla bla bla this is getting a bit ridiculous. I hope it will end soon.

    Re: Used KW V3 or brand new Bilstein PSS9 ??

    PSS9's are going to be my purchase for coils. KW's arent bad either.. Just always hard buying used.. but if the threads are good and the coils dont have alot of miles and come from a good seller then jump on them.

    If I had to choose brand new both I would go with Bilstein.
