Kw v2 VS Bilsten Pss9

[.:RThirtyTwo]

Can anyone tell me the major differences between the two.. how they are adjusted ? ride quality ? quality of the suspesion themselves ? how low could they go ? the spring rates ? and which one is better and why ? any info would be great thanks

i didnt compare the v3's to the pss9s because the bilsten are only two way adjustable like the v2s.

I got PSS9's, did a ton of homework first.

KW is more money and a little more trouble to adjust.
Bilstein is respected and the PSS9's are simple to adjust. One day I'm at the drag strip, the next is a daily commute and maybe one day a track event. I can adjust the car so easy without even lifting her off the ground. Fully adjusted in minutes, maybe seconds.

Seems like every time I post up about bilstein the KW bandwagon starts smashing my a$$ on these forums. Already installed the PSS9's on my car, people. Gonna back them up on the internet. Besides, I never see the Bilstein guys giving me prop's. Cause the Bilstein guys are out driving. Guess the KW guys love the internet.

Either way you can't go wrong. KW and Bilstein are both GREAT. KW is more money and more trouble but they probably handle better. KW is probably better than Bilstein but Bilstein gives me what I need. Full adjust ability at a good price and easy to use.

OK, KW fans.....bring it

Can you post me a pic of your car ? i heard the pss9s dont go low.. at all. with the kw's i find they go to my preferred height.

I owned 2 sets of V3's and would NOT buy the V2's, since I rather have bump adjustment, than rebound.

PSS9's hands down better than V2's, imo...

Obtw, iirc, pss9's can go lower than V2's, iirc...

im in between the 2 coilovers at the moment as well and i was leaning towards the pss9's

I would personally go with the PSS9's... because its the nicest of one brand against the mid-range of another. Plus I saw a video of Steve Meade putting KW V3's on his lexus with 20" wheels on it. Ever since then i said "Meh" to KW.

^^^This has no legitimacy to it in the decision making between the two products in question.... my girlfriend is asleep and i am bored.

When i go coilovers, i would either go Koni or the H&R ones. The PSS9's were popular a LONG time ago... i would feel like i was buying an old piece of technology for some reason.

***Edit*** just read some reviews on the Koni's and i dont think i will be getting those.

Been running PSS9s for years and very happy with them.
