Entry Level Coilover Options and Opinions
#31
almost impossible to find any new from a vendor ( even gert ) x73 any longer. this is what i use, and it suits the bill perfectly as what was asked for. an entry level setup. there aren't 10 guys here this wouldn't work for. it's bilstein by the way. not for nothin"

Hi, I am looking at getting some entry level coilovers and I am trying to find out what the best option is. ...
KW V1 - I have no experience with these, however from internet research I am concerned they might be too soft. (This is also the reason I do not have PSS9/10 on my list). I do like the fact they have a good rep and have a lift time warranty. I would really like the V3's adjust-ability but those are not in my budget. Anyone here unhappy with V1's because they are too soft or maybe other reasons?...
USED - If a great deal on some used fully adjustable name brand ones come up for sale before I buy any I would probably get those instead as long as they are rebuild-able and in my price range.
Anything else I should be considering? Any other thoughts?

PM me if interested.

i'm actually surprised they're even both available still for the 996 and i assume thats because the x73 has more suspension "parts" in the setup. their MO 30's are like i said, just shocks basically. but they're bilstein and tough as nails i've put mine to the test!

I have H&R springs on stock struts (which are probably worn-out at 50k miles)...I like the ride unless I go over washboard asphalt or potholes/dips. Any idea how the different Bilstein options compare to stock struts keeping the spring equal? I'm leaning towards the B8 Sport model.

wont be any different "feeling" i would imagine since youre on presumably worn out oem stuff. remember, bilstein IS oem. thats why they seem made for the car. to me at least.
