BILSTEIN PSS10 on CSL Super Sunday

[mattCSLnut]

So finally I've pulled my finger out :smt116 and while I was mucking about with my Pikey home made BBK Porsche BREMBO brake solutions (as per my other thread) at the rear of the CSL this weekend I thought it would be RUDE not to chuck half of my Billiys PSS10 On as well, while she was up in the air and all in bits, at the back :thumbs:
Only the fronts to go On now with my Ground Control adjustable top mounts http://www.ground-control-store.com/...ption.php/II=9 which arrived on Friday from sunny California :smt055 :thumbs:
Some pix below :whistle:

Very nice indeed Matt :smokin:

REALLY fancy one of these kits myself as i'm not looking to go the full blown coilover route.

Nice one Matt. Will be interested to hear your thoughts on them.

Are you missing a washer in between the rear top mount and the rear shock?

The installation instruction specifies that you separate the rubber on the upside down "V" washer from the stock shock and use that as the bottom washer in between the top mount. If you don't the rubber mount can pull out from the housing.


Otherwise - :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

THANX chaps :thumbs: first running report due at the end of April :whistle:

Tom... it's not shown in the pix but I did wonder what the two additional washers that I found in the Billy box were for :smt017 as the BILSTEIN On line/PDF instalation file make no mention of their actual application :banghead: There were only two possible places to use these on the rears and I guessed right + I reused the O.E. V shape washer in the same O.E. position :thumbs: but thanks for your concern :smt055

One other point of interest and mild caution for anyone considering installing this kit themselves is BILSTEIN put too much yellow paint on the top thread in their Germanic ways and the nylock nuts don't stand a chance of being fully "righty tighty" unless the excess paint is first removed from the thread :banghead: Don't ask me how I know :clown:

Looking good mate!
Can't use the old "Im running OEM suspension thou" now!
Look forward to full road/ track report.

Wouldn't dream of it mate :thumbs: but I did OK with the O.E.M. set up considering my old O.E. rear shocks no longer have any rebound :whistle: at all :smokin: and I bet the fronts are not much better :banghead:
I wonder how long they've been like that for :smt017

Tom, Matt, whats that about the washer, I cant see or understand where you mean :smt100

when you've fitted the ground control mounts get a kds/hunter wheel alignment done mate.
my right side shows 2 degrees and my left shows just over 1. the markings on them don't mean sh1t.

Basically from the top down:

Self locking nut, flat washer, rear top mount, upside down V shape washer, shock absorber.

The upside down V shape washer is taken off the factory shocks (rubber damper removed).

It sandwiches the rear top mount together to stop the rubber from pulling out of the housing.
