STX Bilstein Double Adjustable Package - Bilstein PSS with Dual Bleed Shafts
We just wanted to share with you guys our set up for the 2016 STX (Street Touring Xtreme) Year.
We modified a set of non-adjustable Bilstein PSS (B14) to a Dual Adjustable Coilover with the Bilstein Dual Bleed MDS Shafts. Paired with the Raceseng Top Hats and DIF Upper Spring Hats the Swift Springs can make sure we get the optimum travel we need. We are in development with some extended top hats in the front so we can lower the car more and run a more aggressive alignment. Here's some photos! The entire Kit: Front Front Adjusters Rear Rear Adjusters Yes, both front and rear coilovers are co-axial to the hats and upper spring perches. If you guys have any other questions, feel free to ask. Or email Adrian@frsport.com |

That's an awesome package, and exactly what many STX competitors are looking for. Out of the box quality, and all the components to allow for cheap/easy tinkering (fine-tune for an important venue, overhaul for the season, etc).
Any chance you guys have some representative dyno plots? Who loves data? Shankenstein loves data! Is it true? I do... I do... I doooo~! EDIT: Just saw their C-Street version of this product: LINK to FRSport It's about the exact same price as Vorschlag's MCS TT2 system. Either way, Street class has some legit options.

The lowering range falls between 30mm to 50mm. And as Far as spring rates go, usually suggest a 7/8 combo. but spring rates are all based off of the driver and tire and other factors. |

Unfortunately we will not post a dyno sheet since each and every single kit we produce will have a different graph. We base the valving on all the different variables that a person will be using. (spring rates, sway bar, tire size, tire compound, wheel width, class, and so on) So all the graphs will look different. The shocks use the Bilstein COB Digressive piston so it will show a digressive curve. Here is an example from a set of Bilstein B6 Miata Shocks we've done for one of our employees. These look similar to the FRS kit but with adjustability and a more aggressive curve. |

Edit: You may never be able to just open up their website, hit three buttons and have them show up a few days later. |

As far as being to click on our site and having it show up in 3 days, They are a bit more complicated than that. We like to have a personal phone call with the driver and our tech that way they can figure out what is best for the shocks. We will discus rates, tires, wheel sizes, what the car is used for, and so on. That way the customer gets exactly what they want! |
