Bilstein PSS9

Need some comparison/data on Bilstein PSS9s vs. H&R coilovers. I had H&Rs, but went back to H&R springs and stock shocks. Although now the ride height is OK, the ride comfort is not (too rough and unpleasant) for daily driving.

Anyone who has expereince in this domain please share yours with me. I am considering going with the PSS9s, but in light of the relative high cost, would like to have some actual insight before diving in.

Apparently nobody with PSS9's wants to talk about 'em.

They must stink!

If they are anything like their other products must be awesome. I always used Bilsteins in my VW's, and have them in my MINI too.
In comparison they are expensive so not sure if they are as popular as other brands merely due to cost factor.

I've run them on one of my cars for years and love em. My tech Matt has also had them on his car for 4yrs now and loves them too. I have another customer that has had them for 6yrs and still running them happy as can be. They are great right off the shelf. The rear rebound is also adjustable without removing the shock cause the **** is at the bottom of the shock. Bilstein also now has the PSS10s, which are an upgrade go ahead and get them.
We carry them, I just need to add them to the website.
