Just went from PSS B14 Bilsteins to ST coilovers yesterday.
I find the ST ride quality to be quite soft, almost floaty. The Bilstein B14 coilovers definitely rode firmer but it has a very well damped firm feeling. The best way to describe it was it feels like the engineers at Bilstein really took their time to dial in the setup for our cars, it feels like it should come this way from the factory. Firm yet comfortable, feels really stable! The build quality and attention to detail on the Bilsteins are better also, for example the bracket that holds the speed sensor line clips fit perfectly. On the ST coilovers the top hole is drilled too wide so it feels like the clip is loose and about to fall out. Also the top of the shock stud on the ST coilovers extends too high above the top hats, you won't be able to reuse the rubber dust covers, by leaving them off your top hat bearings are exposed to the elements and dirt and grime can get in. No issues with the Bilsteins, they fit perfectly like OEM. I would have kept the Bilsteins but unfortunately they use a wider spring similar to stock up front so with wide 9.5" tires and a 40 offset, it gets really close to rubbing. I'm planning to run more camber up front so I'm pretty sure it will make contact if I add more aggressive front camber. |

How much more camber were you planning on adding? |
