hey my Bilsteins are finally broken in. the ride is more firmer with the 19's. Loving it more and more

 

How many miles..Im still loving mine and enjoying the GS more everytime I drive..When will they settle??

 

Hey....whats going on? Still no pics?

Btw....shox.com raised the price to $875 now.....B@ST@RDS!!!

Wondering Does lifetime warranty transfer over to NON-Original owner?

 

Yah that is the price I paid Pete. $912.00 at my door. Hey, i will post pics once i get the new wheels from the place you put me on too. Waiting for delivery.

 

how low can you actually go on the bilstein coilovers? i ordered mine on shox.com over the weekend.. i should be getting them on wednesday!

 

2 inches max. i have it at 2 threads exposed in fron and 6 threads exposed in back. It has a 1.5 finger gap all around. Looks mean. Pics coming

 

slapped the bilsteins on last week.. 3 finger gap all around.. i'll go lower in a few months.. i love the way it handles..

next mod will be some new shoes =)

 

Has anyone here pull the helper springs out?
I wanna hear some feedback if anyone did it, and how does ir ride after crank down a few more threads.

 

Removing the helper spring does not affect the ride height. Its purpose is to keep the unit together when you raise the car in the air.

 

Do you think that PSS are the way to go with 20's? I also live in NY, aka Pot Hole City, and I don't want to bend rims or plow out tires. I want a "sporty and comfortable" ride not a "stiff, harsh" ride. Keep in mind that I will have people sitting in my back seats on a regular basis!

Merry Christmas and God Bless!!!

 

Merry Christmas Hardaway and my Clublexus brothas.. To answer your question, I think this is the best set up for NYC considering I've been in cars with the Tein Flex, Tein Superstreet, and Espilar set up. I have to say this is the most compliant set up over the bumps, and will not jar your teeth. I ran them with the 19's and it felt pretty good. Dave GS4 did an extensive write up about it https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...t=bilstein+pss

 

I read that write up and it was very informative!! But I always like to hear as many personal opinions as I can. I just don't want to make the wrong choice, and my rims and ride pay the price for it, you know!!!

 

Has anyone moved from L-tuned shocks and springs to Bilstein PSS?
My current set up is very similar to L-tuned but I'm thinking of improving the handling even more so I'm considering coilovers.

However, I'm afraid of a bone jarring ride and I don't want to feel/hear every bump on the road. Already with my set-up, small bumps are communicated through the suspension--tolerable but only just. Can the Bilsteins PSS iron out the creases on the road to give a smooth ride at the same time as giving spectacular handling or will ride quality suffer dramatically?

I would really appreciate feedback from actual owners who have owned both L-tuned S/S and Bilstein PSS.

Thanks!
