Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers vs. Competition (+ extra compenents)
After 1 year and 3 months of enjoying the stock ride for roughly 17,500 miles, I now want to slowly but surely build up my 86.
I am really leaning toward the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers (http://ft86speedfactory.com/bilstein...vers-1216.html) but would like to know how they compare to the competition relative to the price range. Can anyone share their experience with the Bilstein B14 PSS Coilovers ? - My goal is to have ultimately better handling while also keeping with a nice street DD feel. - On top of the B14s, which Top Hats, Front Camber Bolts and Rear Lower Control Arms would you recommend to compliment these coilovers? I am open to suggestion/recommendations. Thank you. Last edited by 1086; 05-24-2014 at 03:37 AM. |

I got the B14 kit with HVT camber plates. No camber bolts or control arms.
1" drop all around -2.65 front camber. Plates maxed out -2.2 rear camber 0 front toe, 1/16 rear toe. |

I have B14s with camber bolts in the front and SPC control arms in the rear. I haven't got an alignment yet so the neg camber is set to max until I get new tires installed and I get the alignment done. So far on bumpy local roads they are firmer than stock but not harsh on the bigger bumps. I haven't done much hard cornering with my worn out tires but it feels more planted with less body roll.
