They are "almost" available. Announcing a product and actually being able to ship and have someone in the USA install them on a car in a few days time is a totally different story.

They are NOT available in the USA; yet.

I'd like to know how the PSS10 compare with the Eibach R2.

ICantAffordAnLFA · 01-28-2013, 08:56 AM

Uk release for B14s is 2nd April, and for the B16s is 25th of May

From the Bilstein horse's mouth

Why did I have to fail german class...

They have the English version catalogue as well.

Their coilovers would be my first choice if I ever was to upgrade the suspension on my 86. Have them on my current Mitsubishi and they're worth every penny.

ICantAffordAnLFA · 05-21-2013, 04:41 PM

Euro prices on the bilstein site now.

switchlanez · 06-06-2013, 01:49 PM

Anyone confirm if these order-able somewere in the world yet?

executivekoala · 06-06-2013, 02:13 PM

not yet, towards end of year. I had a buddy who actually helped engineer them, they did a lot of testing so it's taking a bit. I work next to the motor sports division where they make/test/ship the coilovers and shocks. I did see a brz out front this week so they were likely testing the product. Hope that helped

There are two version of Bilstein PSS/PSS10 available; Japan version and Euro version.

http://www.bilstein.co.jp/en/spl/86brz.html

Japan version with helper spring and linear spring:

Euro version with progressive spring:

And if someone understand Japanese, maybe this would be worth watching:
http://www.bilstein.co.jp/en/experie...s/imp-brz.html

Perhaps tells us what the Bilstein Japan's engineer has to say about the PSS/BSS developments for GT86/BR-Z.

Also, if you guys look at Bilstein international page the Bilstein PSS/PSS10 is already being listed, but not yet listed on Bilstein USA website.

ICantAffordAnLFA · 07-29-2013, 02:45 PM

B14s are available in Europe; but not the B16s although they are promised about now.

Litchfield in the UK are doing a bespoke Bilstein damper and I'm hanging on for that.

switchlanez · 07-29-2013, 03:01 PM

That http://www.bilstein.co.jp/en/spl/86brz.html page is kind of confusing. Shows a max drop of 20mm for B14 then later on the same page it shows a max drop of 30mm for another B14 kit (different part numbers for the same B14 kit name). I must be reading something wrong.

So Bilstein will release dampers, not coilovers, for us to use with our own aftermarket springs? When might that be out? I'd hold out for that also.

ICantAffordAnLFA · 07-29-2013, 04:46 PM

Afaik b14 and b16 ( non jdm) can both do 30mm drop.

Litchfield product is due anytime.......
