I'm shopping for coilovers and someone had recommended these coilovers to me. I've looked at the product and read some reviews as well as a nice design with the inverted monotube insert. I have not seen much in the way of feedback here or on other Mini forums and was wondering why that is. Is it because thier not as popular with the Mini community or not as good as other options? My budget is 2500.00 with shipping but that doesn't mean I won't take an excelent product for less. Any ideas?

 

Dude if thats your budget, totally go with Bilstein pss9's OR Cross coilovers. Those two seem to be the best coilovers right now.

 

For 2500....I will sell you my PPS9's and go back to stock...

 

Kalvin has K-Sports...they are great. Rides nice. Plus, you get camber plates. If you use them you have to notch out the strut tower for camber adjustment tho...

 

If you have $2500 to spend on suspension go with Cross, nothing less

 

That answer will do a lot to help with reccomendations....

Completely. They do things a little different.

Longboard

 

It's my daily driver and I AutoX in the STS class. Looking for a nice cruising ride and optimum setting for the AuotX course. My wheels are Konig Feather 15 x 6 @ 11lbs each wrapped with Falken Azenis 615's. I do not have spacers (I prefer not to use them) on my wheels. Standard brakes. I'm looking to corner balence and drop her to the ground! I have ordered Helix camber plates that I will use. If the coilovers come with adj camber plates thats ok, I can either use what comes with the coilovers or machine a custom top spring plate so I can keep the Helix plates. I don't care much for the adj plates that come with the K-sport. I like the Leda design, thier a little pricey but the adjustment seems to be better than most I have seen. I'm not sure if the Cross coilovers are compatable with the helix plates.

 

2500 can get you quite a few options... PSS9 is one, Cross is another

Texas speedworks got a setup thats based on the LEDA setup and it seems pretty good too

 

^ they also have ASTs

 

Cross would be the way to go. Talk to Jan at RMW if you arnt already convinced.

 

Looks like Bilstein is possibly introducing PSS10 in the near future

 

Ohhhh.....PSS10's..... :impatient

 

that go all the way to 11! Till that happens, it's all just BS!

Matt

 

Why don't you have it just go to 10 and stop at 10?

 

Whats the diference between 9 & 10?

 

if im not mistaken, its the replacement for PSS9

 

11 is one more that 10!

I THINK it's one, but I'd have to check my math!

if your still looking for reviews on the k-sports i have them and they are great. All adjustments are easy to do except for the camber due to need to notch out the strut tower, I drive mine daily and its very stiff but when i get on an onramp or windy road they are the best things ever , I know kalbone on here is also running them, let me know if want more info.
