Bilstein PSS14 Coilover kit fitted

Had this kit fitted during the week, and wow what a difference in terms of ride and handling difference. I was hesitant to get this done as the C55 ride was not to bad but the new kit has vastly improved things all round plus lowered to where i wanted it, but is fully adjustable. Here's some pics of the install and some before and after pics. Car was used for wedding on Friday.

How is the ride quality compared to OEM setup? Is too harsh? How much did you get that kit for?

This post has me all excited because I want to instal Bilstein Coilovers on my car. I can't find PSS14's with google either. Where did you find them?

The ride is far superior to OEM, and not harsh at all i was really surprised. The kit was £1,200.00 with fitting and wheel alingment £1,600 as i needed 2 new adjustable castor bolts, camber bolts had already been fitted.

Thanks. Definately B14's custom made for C55 - B16 coilovers are the top of the range for track use.

The one Tudu use is the B14 PSS and is more suitable for street use. The usual PSS9 and PSS10 are both B16 which are higher level ones to handle track usage.
