I don't want to rain on anyone's parade here, but a brand new PSS9 set runs about $950: they have come down a lot in price from when they were initially produced for the R53. I do notice however that these have helper springs for the rear coilovers and there are endlinks in the photos, so I'm assuming those are included The set looks in great shape for having been run for 10K miles

EDIT: just noticed when preparing my reply down below that the PSS9 kit comes with helper springs in the rear but the PSS10 kit doesn't.

 

I will price accordingly, can you show me a link of where the b16 pss9 are going for 950?

 

Ummm... you may be mixing two different different products, since B16 and PSS9 are two different coilover systems.

Bilstein B16 are also known as PSS10, not PSS9.

Bilstein B14 are actually the PSS9 model.

B14 pricing at a well known aftermarket MINI parts vendor: PSS9

B16 pricing at same vendor: PSS10

You can see that the adjustment dials on the coilovers you're selling are clearly those of the B14 PSS9 kit. It also appears that the rear coilovers you're selling also have helper springs, which the B14 PSS9 set has but the B16 PSS10 doesn't.

Hope this helps

 

I believe you are also getting confused when you search for B14 pss9 nothing shows up, the ones you linked at the top are B14 pss which are only single adjustment (height) like the ones below,

the ones I have based on waymotorworks are listed as B16 PSS9/PSS10. I understand the dial is on the side vs on perpendicular to the shock, the perpendicular dial **** seems to be on all newer B16 pss10 coilovers, the link below shows the coilovers I have

These do come with links correct?

 

Hmmmm...

Unfortunatley I can't access the Way Motor Works links you provided since I'm in Canada: Way only allows access to his web site from US IP addresses.

I'm still pretty sure that you have an older set of the B14 PSS9 coilovers for the following reasons:

- the production code on the springs in the images you provided indicate that they were produced in 2004
- the image in this old NAM dicussion thread (see post #121) sure looks a lot like the Bilstein set you have for sale.

Anyway, I was just trying to help. Thanks for the polite reply - it's nice to be able to have a civilized discussion without it devolving into a flame war.

Good luck with the sale.
