FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Bilstein B14 PSS kit?

The main advantage is the combination of precise, sporty handling with customizable ride height adjustment, allowing you to tailor your vehicle's performance and aesthetics for both street and track use.

Can I install this kit myself?

While possible for experienced DIYers, professional installation is highly recommended due to the complexity and the need for precise alignment afterward. Incorrect installation can affect performance and safety.

How much can I lower my car with this kit?

The Bilstein B14 PSS kit allows for a flexible and individual lowering of your vehicle by up to 50 mm from the original ride height.

Will this kit fit my car with electronic suspension?

No, this specific kit (47-080416) is not designed for vehicles with factory electronic suspension. You must select a kit specifically designed for integration with electronic systems if your vehicle is so equipped.

What does TUV certification mean for this product?

TUV certification signifies that the product has undergone rigorous testing and meets stringent German safety and quality standards, ensuring high performance and reliability.

How does the monotube design benefit performance?

The monotube design prevents foaming and reduces heat buildup in the damper fluid, leading to more consistent damping performance, reduced fade under heavy use, and a smoother ride.

What is the warranty period for the Bilstein B14 PSS kit?

Bilstein offers a robust 2-year warranty for the B14 PSS kits, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Troubleshooting

Uneven ride height after adjustment

Re-measure and ensure that the threaded collars on both sides are set to the exact same height. Check for any debris obstructing the threads. An improper adjustment can also lead to alignment issues.

Excessive noise or clunking from suspension

Verify that all mounting bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Check that no components are rubbing against the chassis or other parts. Ensure spring perches are correctly seated and locking collars are secured.

Vehicle pulling to one side

This is typically an alignment issue. After installing or adjusting coilovers, a professional wheel alignment is always required. The alignment shop can correct camber, caster, and toe settings.

Reduced damping performance or inconsistency

Ensure the monotube dampers have not been subjected to excessive shock or impact. Check for any leaks around the damper seals. Consistent maintenance and avoiding impacts will help maintain performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation of the Bilstein B14 PSS kit typically requires professional mechanical knowledge. It involves removing the original suspension components and installing the new height-adjustable coilover units. Precise adjustment of the ride height should be done carefully, ensuring even measurements on both sides and adherence to recommended alignment procedures post-installation.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for specific vehicle models. It is crucial to verify compatibility with your vehicle's make, model, and year before purchase. Important Note: This kit is not directly compatible with vehicles equipped with factory electronic suspension systems. If your vehicle has such a system, an alternative kit designed for electronic suspension integration must be selected.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity, regularly inspect suspension components for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the coilover bodies periodically, especially after exposure to road salt or debris, to preserve the Triple-C anti-corrosion coating. Ensure that any adjustments to ride height are followed by a professional wheel alignment.
