Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This kit is designed for specific VW models including the Golf, Corrado, Jetta, and Vento. It is crucial to verify fitment for your exact vehicle model and year. Note: This kit is not suitable for vehicles originally equipped with electronic suspension systems. Modifications may be required for certain special edition or factory-lowered models, potentially affecting the achievable lowering amount.
Setup & Installation:
Installation of a coilover suspension kit is a complex process and is highly recommended to be performed by a qualified mechanic. Key steps typically involve:
- Safely lifting and supporting the vehicle.
- Removing the original suspension components.
- Installing the front and rear Bilstein B14 PSS coilover units.
- Adjusting the ride height to the desired level, ensuring evenness between sides.
- Performing a wheel alignment is essential after installation to ensure proper steering and tire wear.
Care:
The Triple-C anti-corrosion coating offers robust protection. However, regular cleaning of the suspension components, especially after exposure to salt or harsh road conditions, is advised. Inspect the coilovers periodically for any signs of damage or leaks. Ensure adjustment collars remain free of debris to allow for future height adjustments.
Warranty:
Bilstein offers a 2-year warranty on the B14 PSS kits, covering manufacturing defects. Keep your proof of purchase and warranty information readily available.
