Anyone ETA on Bilstein coilovers? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What are the spring rates? Can't find them any where...

dem00n · 10-04-2013, 05:11 PM

They want the B14 coilovers for around $1K, are they really worth it? Sound a bit cheap if you ask me...

Just ordered mine!

Anaxilus · 10-04-2013, 08:26 PM

Anyone mid putting theirs on a scale so we can get data? TIA.

The Bilstein B16 part# 48-228299 is now available in a very limited run at the moment. PM us for pricing or save a set while supplies last.

A few of these Bilsteins are now out there in the wild. Anyone one have any feedback on them?

AJUSA.com · 11-14-2013, 03:24 PM

As of today 11/14/13 there is 1 B14 left, and a few B16's in stock. The next ETA for the B14 will be late December

Have had them installed for about 5 days now.
They are very very good for a street setup.
I was on Eibach Pro-kit springs which was very harsh for my taste.
These Coilovers are stiff and have very little (if any) body roll while still not making my spine hate me every time I go over a pebble.

I've definitely noticed increased grip in the corners. For reference, a corner I normally take at 30mph I can now take at about 37-40 while being very safe.
A milder corner that I used to take at 33mph I can now take at about 45-50.
Neither of these come close to the limit of grip and I don't think I am brave/stupid enough to take it to the limit of grip on the street.

For reference, I'm on Bridgestone S04 PP tires (245/35/18).

Where you on the same tires when you had the lowering springs?

Thanks for the feedback.

I've got a set of pss10s I'll be installing this week hopefully. I'll give some feedback once I get it corner weighted and aligned.
