I doubt there will be a group buy. PBM is direct to consumer, no wholesale accounts.

the other thing that I would like to point out is the spring rates. I really do not agree with the softer spring on the rear with this car. Why - the motion ratios and the affect on the wheel rates.

lol! Definitely good point on the spring rates!

Squishy86 · 06-19-2013, 08:13 PM

Anyone running these yet? I live 10 minutes from their warehouse.

NemeGuero · 06-19-2013, 10:50 PM

Yep. Love them. They're super rad coilovers. Get the PRO ones. You'll be happy you did.

I really want to buy a set of the competition pro's. I wonder how high they can go for winter driving and then how comfy they are for good coils. Because not everyone can afford V3's for a daily.

I'm debating between these and Fortune Auto. PBM Pros come with the caster adjustment but the Fortune Auto coils come with Swift springs. Both around the same price.

I have them and I'm completely satisfied! The car feels planted when I drive spiritedly and when I slide

Best bang for the buck!

How the ride quality when set soft driving down the road?

executivekoala · 06-29-2013, 12:10 PM

The difference between these and all the other chinese coilovers in the time and r&d put in. Talk to Dan at PSM about them and you will be sold. Been running them and I love em. I smacked a curb and bent my sub frame and coilovers were fine. Also they have replacement shock for them so when rebuild time come parts are ready to go. s far as soft ride quality goes in the front its not a big deal and it feels really good, in the rear you need a harder ride to control the spring. I have full soft in the rear because I like how it over steers in that set up but the ride over some dips is really bouncy, if you go full soft in the rear get the sold subframe risers they are coming out with. With my old sub frame that they were on it, rode great all the time but nvh is kinda gnarly and you have to like shit like that; otherwise battle version just came out with delrin colars that should help also.

Well currently i have them at med/hard. From the factory they put the dampening at 6 which is the middle and i put them at 8. If the ride quality is great at 8, it would probably be even better at a softer rating. I just a like a semi-stiff ride.

Did you get the PRO model? I'm wondering how much castor adjustment that allows for...
