The primary benefit is the combination of significantly improved, sporty handling and the ability to customize your vehicle's ride height for better aesthetics and aerodynamics.

The kit allows for individual lowering of your vehicle by up to 50 mm from its original ride height.

Yes, the Bilstein B14 PSS kit is designed to offer a balance between sporty performance and everyday drivability. However, the ride will be firmer than stock suspension.

What does TUV certification mean?

TUV certification signifies that the product has met stringent German safety and quality standards, assuring excellent performance and reliability.

You must verify compatibility. This kit may not be directly compatible with vehicles that have factory electronic suspension systems. Consult your vehicle's manual or a Bilstein specialist.

Troubleshooting

Clunking noise after installation

Ensure all suspension mounting bolts are correctly tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications. Check that all components are properly seated and that no lines or cables are interfering with moving parts.

Vehicle sits unevenly after height adjustment

Re-check ride height adjustments on all corners; ensure they are set identically or as intended for the vehicle's alignment. It may also be necessary to have the vehicle professionally aligned after adjustments.

Reduced damping performance or harsh ride

Confirm that the monotube dampers are not damaged. Ensure the spring perch is correctly set and the spring is seated properly. A harsh ride may also be a characteristic of the sporty tuning; ensure it's not indicative of a deeper issue.

  • Significantly enhances vehicle handling and responsiveness.
  • Allows for personalized ride height adjustment.
  • Durable construction with corrosion resistance.
  • TUV certified for assured quality and safety.
  • Suitable for both daily driving and track performance.

Cons

  • Can result in a firmer ride compared to stock suspension.
  • Lowering amounts may vary on factory-lowered or special edition models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Professional installation is recommended due to the nature of suspension work. Ensure all components are torqued to manufacturer specifications. Adjust ride height carefully to meet local regulations and desired stance.

Compatibility: Verify compatibility with your specific vehicle model. Pay close attention to vehicles equipped with factory electronic suspension systems, as this kit may not be directly compatible or may require specific bypass modules. Check if your vehicle has special edition or sports models that may already have factory lowering, which could affect the achieved drop.

Care: Regularly inspect suspension components for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the coilover bodies periodically to remove dirt and salt, especially in areas with harsh weather conditions, to maintain the effectiveness of the Triple-C anti-corrosion coating. Avoid pressure washing directly at the seals.
