Default ***Tein CS vs. Bilsteins PSS***

hey suspension gurus:

care to contribute your thoughts between these two units?

pricewise, the PSS is ~$400 less; but then the PSS does not have damping adjustibility, and the CS has aluminum shock body, from my limited understanding.

both units are rated highly by JDM mags, and the Bilsteins actually cost quite dearly in japan.

too bad there is no PSS9 fittment for the GS

welcome any inputs and thoughts, thank you

Will,

You know I have the PSS and love it. I can't make any qualitative comparisons since I've never driven a Tein CS setup. But based on spring rates in Manaray's post, The springs are stiffer on Bilstein. Don't know about the dampening of each but based on "seat of the pants" I wouldn't want anything stiffer.
