PSS 9 Coil Over Kit

[m3f_San Diego _b8e3666b37]

Anybody have any experience with this Bilstein kit, and is it a good daily driver solution?

I have the PSS9's and I can't complain.



Height ride adjustment and 9 different dampening settings. Just set to your preference. Daily driving shouldn't be a problem.



I actually keep mine at full stiff all around.

They don't correctly fit the e36 m3.

I have them on my 325is and if I had a choice I would not do it again. They ride great but getting them to fit right is a huge ordeal. First off you need spacers in the front. If your front end isn't absolutely perfect you will get a shimmy in the steering wheel. After 6 trips to the installer and many many hours we finally found a way to make them fit without spacers but only at a very specific ride height.



I love the ride now but I wouldn't go through it again.

So would you now install this as your daily driver?

[m3f_SG_M3_d1201712b5]

no, thats still not the correct way. That is mounting the swaybar to the control arm which decreases its effectiveness. To counter act this you would need to get a larger front sway from a 325.

I can sell you a Ground Control kit with Camberplates, Rear Shock Mounts and spring rates of your choosing for the same money!



I am confident you would be much happier with this solution...oh yeah, and it fits.

Sounds like your car has issues... There shouldn't be any problem with using them in a 325. I have them in mine and LOVE them! While now that I am hitting the track a lot more I am looking at upgrading in the next year they are a GREAT street setup IMO.
