Anyway, how would you compare the B14s to RCE SS1? Would the ride quality with rebound adjustment make it an improved/smoother experience over the B14s?
I want get rid of bounciness and bring some better ride quality back to my setup, so I was thinking to go back to springs/shocks with RCE Yellows + ‘17 Sachs or Bilstein B6's.

The SS1s have more travel up front....with your Bilsteins at a 1.5 inch drop I'm not surprised your ride is a little firm. Raising them will help.
The Bilsteins are good. With the rebound adjuster on the SS1s, though, you have more control over how you want them to feel. The ride on the SS1s won't be bouncy at a 1.5 inch drop, you'll feel some of the bigger city bumps but it's still pretty good. Slightly better than the Bilsteins IMO. At a 1 inch drop, it's extremely awesome.
