Hey guys. I've recently purchased some new Bilstein PSS10 Coilovers, so I'll be removing my PSS9 and putting them up for sale or trade.

So, in the interest of transparency, they've been on the car quite a long while (~60k). They still ride fine, but the drivers side rear unit has a seized perch collar. I'll try to get it free when I remove them, but I just wanted to mention this. I'm sure a machine shop or someone very handy could get it freed-up.

For those interested, Bilstein and some others can rebuild or re-valve these units if you wanted to. They cost ~$2,000 new, and are among the best street / track capable coilovers for this gen of MINI. I'll have photos up as soon as they're off, but am accepting any reasonable offers or trades for R53 performance parts.

 

Cash offers in the range of...?

 

PMing you. I don't have a firm price, honestly.

 

Pm'd

 

So to revisit this, I'd like to get $500 for these used units.

Worth mentioning, I have a set of brand new PSS9's too, in box w/ factory warranty that I'd sell for $1,300. Cheapest I can find from a vendor is $1,900. I'll post these soon in a separate thread.

Here's a quick cost assessment for those interested:

Used / Rebuild
Used Bilsteins: $500
Bilstein Rebuild Charge: $200 per corner ($800)
Total: $1,300 for completely rebuilt coilovers.

New
Brand new, in box units w/ warranty: $1,300 (from me)

Pick your poison, gents.

 

Just a heads-up, folks:

I got a message from a member who feels that for the price, these should come with either camber plates, or the used OEM strut mounts (front) and OEM strut bushings (rear) from my own car. To be clear, I will not be supplying any of those things, as it's not recommended that you reuse such parts when replacing suspension. Bilstein doesn't supply them with a new PSS9 kit, so neither do I.

Thanks,

 

where are u located?

 

Troy, NY 12180. About 2.5 hours North of NYC.

 

Do you still have these?

 

These could be off-the-market. The first coilover I pulled out wasn't in great shape.

 

let me know how the rest are, may be interested in buying to rebuild.

 

Will do. I'll have a better idea by the weekend.
