Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers vs. Competition (+ extra compenents)
 
After 1 year and 3 months of enjoying the stock ride for roughly 17,500 miles, I now want to slowly but surely build up my 86.

I am really leaning toward the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers
(http://ft86speedfactory.com/bilstein...vers-1216.html)
but would like to know how they compare to the competition relative to the price range.

Can anyone share their experience with the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers ?

- My goal is to have ultimately better handling while also keeping with a nice street DD feel.
- On top of the B14s, which Top Hats, Front Camber Bolts and Rear Lower Control Arms would you recommend to compliment these coilovers?

I am open to suggestion/recommendations.

Thank you.

I got the B14 kit with HVT camber plates. No camber bolts or control arms.

1" drop all around
-2.65 front camber. Plates maxed out
-2.2 rear camber
0 front toe, 1/16 rear toe.

I have B14s with camber bolts in the front and SPC control arms in the rear. I haven't got an alignment yet so the neg camber is set to max until I get new tires installed and I get the alignment done. So far on bumpy local roads they are firmer than stock but not harsh on the bigger bumps. I haven't done much hard cornering with my worn out tires but it feels more planted with less body roll.

I have zero experience with them nor do I own them..but, in its' price range, I am sure they are the highest quality coilover and nothing will ever come close.
