Any ETA on Bilstein coilovers?
 

I'm trying to be patient ;), but I'm wondering if anyone has any info or any ETA on when Bilstein will come out with some coilovers. I'm specifically looking for the PSS9 or PSS10

*bump* I'm in SD and waiting for the same deal

Hi,

I wrote an e-mail to Bilstein to ask if and when they will bring coilovers for the GT86. They that that they will bring the B14 and B16, and will begin testing when the first cars will be available in Germany in october. Then the release to the market will be in spring 2013.

ditto

I do know a few tuners have Bilsteins on there demo cars, but i'm afraid the prices will be much more since they are most likely using the clubsport or something around that price range.

I'm sure a reputable importer can get them for us. The price is quite a bit at $2800!

i just found the spring rates for their b14 coilovers.

We were told maybe March, with emphasis on the "maybe".

if they have the shocks already made and are currently selling them in japan, why wouldn't they bring it to the US? maybe you can't bring japanese R&D coilovers to the US due to different road conditions?

I have a contact at Bilstein. Word is March, development will be different for the US market than Japan. I'm considering these based on my experience from their off road program.

280 front and 307 lbs. rear sounds like more street less track.

This is gonna be great for DDs who track from time to time, but likely at $2503.43(converting yen) they are not cheap, as is often the case with bilstein, that is w/o strutbar or camber plates; hence why I went GC, but I am indeed a bilstein fan!

yeah, they're the b14 coilovers, which are below the bilstein pss9 and pss10.

i thought the koni inserts weren't available to the public yet. how did you get a set of GC konis?

running GC race setup..not the street inserts
thats 370lbs front and 430 rear, on the lighter side of what was recommended. I may go firmer after I track it some

got double adjust fronts and single rear dampers
incl camber plates and strutbar and rsm for same price as the b14 above, youre all done incl LCA adjusters

PSS will be out of range for most owners, and unjustifiable unless youre really serious, competitive, or fiscally liberal. I suspect the job will get done pretty well by these GCs I got or by something like a KW3, not sure the platform demands as high end a setup as potentially a $3500 set of bilsteins..

Check.
