As far as I know, Carlsson uses it in combination with Eibach springs in their C32-RS. IMHO one of the best suspension kits out there (but only if installed as a complete, matched kit: springs, shocks and sway bars!).

We've it here and a member test it.
Scale 1~9 for stiffness adjustment, he set "9" for soft +EST.
M.Benz is totally changed, M3 ? no way to compare with....
It's damn stiff though(even by scale 9) , but outstanding handling instead and never happen to an Mercedes no matter Brabus, KW
... has ever tuned, regardless of AMG, it's a softer one.
ppl who wants comfortable........ forget it.
ppl who loves track activity , bite M3, 996 ..... as you wish.
Just name it C32/GT3

It's a milestone that Mercedes is finally recognized as a sport sedan and deserve PSS-9 support while M-power & RS-power
is long for this "sport sedan" reputation.
No other MB models available so far but W203 & W209 !!!
Test run another C32 with setting "3", God ! the car punch out
w/o nose up,you've confident in corners, back the limit to
the tires , the body is perfectly balanced, no body roll & no fears at speedy cornering.
This car is so lowered (no more finger clearance) but won't scratch tires at all !!
99% car lowered like this scratches BADLY.
This's the PSS-9, True performer kits !

I'm changing to the W209 soon, should i keep the Carlsson CO or buy a Bilstein PSS-9?? I don't mind about the stiff ride as i'm still 19 and actually love the stiff ride. How low can you go with the Bilstein??

PSS-9 > PTS > KW > Brabus...>> AMG > MB stock
I haven't put Carlsson CO before.
There's 2" adjustable for height, that allow your tires to rub the car front & rear.

Two members here w/PSS-9 wear 19" as well.
It can be lowered.....very very low cuz they don't rub tires.
$1715 including labor & subsequent alignment.

Hello Shine,
I called Bilstein USA and they have NO idea about the PSS-9 on C32.
Please send us the part numbers.
Also a Taiwan source would be much better than the No source we have here So please forward the name of someone that sells them.

I spoke to my shop and they called the local distributor of bilstein, and according to them, the PSS-9 is not available.
I want this suspensoin more than the H&R, so please advise where to get it.

Tezta, are u the one in the center ?
Mine isn't PSS-9 , AMG stock,serve as kid's school shuttle
I hear from those youngsters
What makes them nervous when racing ? CHASSIS
It's the nature of MB, no way to improve it whatever brabus
KW ... kits equipped.
The stiffness changes the nature (not the height itself)
With supreme torque of C32AMG & stiff chassis, they smile :v
evil in their eyes, tease M3 w/o fear coming from body roll
left traction issue only to the tire setting, an easy part.
p.s PSS-9 is also popular in M3 enthusiasts.
