PSS9 compared to PSS

[wmgarton]

I will need to replace my DRC in near future.
I don't track my car. It's an occasional daily driver.
Does anyone have experience with Bilstein PSS system. It's considerably cheaper than PSS9, and I probably don't need to change settings.
Any help or suggestions welcome.

check out the thread on the drc repair. Audi MAY be stepping in soon. So, unless you _really_ need it, I would try to hang on for a little while longer.

Yes, I've been in touch with Rob, but I'm sceptical.
I'm researching in case Audi doesn't come through!

hah, as you might've read from that thread, so am i. I know that Tim from up north is jumping on a set of PSS9, though there have been complaints in the past about noise (no actual mechanical issue as far as I can recall) but the H&R available from a few of our members seem quite reasonable compared to the KW that I installed. Unfortunately, I don't know too much about the Bilsteins, they are a reputable company though :D

Post #10. This is going to happen. Period.

I have driven and ridden in a Pss9 RS6. POS

IMHO Oh, that's good to see after I just ordered them:doh:

Rick,

Dont worry. That car was not setup properly. We have the new member on the board now and its much better.

It does sit low and you dont have much suspension travel.

IMHO I would have gone for the H&R coilover kit. Some say its "softer" than KW or PSS but still higher sprung than stock DRC springs.

Does anyone Stateside have any experience of the FK Konigsport Coilovers?

They utilise Koni dampers with FK springs and are allegedly made at the same place as KW.
