Bilstein PSS10 with 19" RFTs?

TurboBimmer · 06-20-2009, 02:53 AM

Hello,

I can get a good deal on the PSS10, and I wonder how it will perform with RFTs. Is anyone running that setup? I want to get rid of the bumpiness of the stock sports suspension on bad roads and make the car feel more planted (and drop it a little in the process

).

PSS10 will make your car feel significantly more planted. If not...its 10-way adjustable so you can dial it in.

They work very well on RFT . YOu can run softest setup and actually gain some comfort.

I know you already know this but 19" run flats are a major culprit in creating the bumpy ride. PSS10 may be a little stiffer than stock. Ask those who have them.

Thanks for the input!

I know it would probably be best to get rid of the RFTs. But since the whole suspension was designed to fit those tires, it would require to switch out quite a few more parts to adapt everything to normal tires.

I'll see how it turns out with the PSS10. From what I've read it's quite the ultimate suspension upgrade. So I've reserved my "August mod budget" for this

Contact a member called Alpina_B3_Lux - he's also in Luxembourg and he made the trip up to the Nurburgring specifically to see my car and to experience the PSS10 Ride Control system first hand. He'll tell you everything you need to know about how it feels

If you want to experience it yourself before committing to it, I'll be at the 'Ring in August (everyday from 14th - 20th inclusive) so feel free to drive up and meet. It's only a couple of hours from Luxembourg, if that.
