Bilstein B16 PSS10 opinions?
http://www.bilstein.de/products/sport-and-threaded-ride-high-adjustable-kits/bilstein-b16.html
Has anyone installed these?
Do they improve handling, traction over stock?
How about ride?
Any comments will be helpful.

I can say without a shadow of a doubt that these are the best suited coilovers for the MKV. I have them on mine. :cool:

I had Eibach's before which were okay, but not a patch on the PSS10's.

The monotube design of the PSS10's is way superior to other systems. Also the damping settings can be easily adjusted in seconds without having to jack up the car or lift the bonnet like the KW variant 3's.

The best thing for me is the fact that they were designed and fine tuned at The Nurburgring, where they are astounding.

They cost more, but are worth it and come with a lifetime guarantee that other manufacturers cringe away from.

If I break my car back to stock to sell in the next week or so, then the PSS10's will be available. They have been on the car around a year and done under 8k miles and are still perfect. :smiley:

I too am running these, after a recommendation from Hurdy, and a couple of other guys who really know what they are talking about.
They are great, the ride is fantastic, They don't go as low as I hoped, but they do feel great to drive with.

thanks guys,
you have reassured me on PSS10 which is what I will get.
I'll post an update after installation.
