Guys,

Currently on M-Tech SACHS absorbers with Eibach springs. Thinking on changing it to Bilstein.

I know that there are different model line-up from Bilstein - B4, B6, B8, B12, B14 (PSS) and B16 (PSS9).

Which model gives the best combo (performance and comfort) with the Eibach spring?

Experience much appreciated.

Tks.

Bro, I sell Bilstein 10 years liao...
The safest is to get a set of PSS9. Height adjustable, but stiffnest? Well, no worry, it can be as soft as stock shocks and also be as hard as track shocks. Why? Because it has 9 setting....

to compare the current setup vs b8 + eibach, which portse7en has!

Going to any of the TT portse7en?

erkk... i've been to TT just once...actually time always clash (gosh what a life)
I will try to join TT at Showru or Mutiara Damansara TT next time

Ok to tell u my experience with B8.

2 days after installation, I told my wife regarding the new absorber and she quite disagreed coz of the absorber quite stiffy.

But after a week, the B8 became more comfortable and she likes it

One Q,
Is it normal, rear more higher than front. I thought the levels will be the same. I feel my car a little bit "terjongkit or tonggek" like duck butt

oh, it was already sold. :yes!:

was trying to contemplate if the price in which i was asking for was too much.

The price depends on the mileage of the shock absorbers. Their effective lifespan also depends on how you drive your ride.

It is best to take the absorbers to some workshop to test before buying used absorbers.

Bro leakwoon,

Yes the absorbers need to run in. My B8 feels better now after a few months. The very first week was so stiff that I thought I might not be able to take it.
