992.1 GT3 style wheels

 

Has anyone made the switch from KW HAS to Bilstein SE or from other springs? How is the difference in ride quality with these coilovers?

 

Night and day difference. Coming from experience (not with your exact car) but similar vehicles.

as in they ride better than factory?

 

Absolutely! I picked mine up from Josh a couple of years ago.

 

Nice ! Our roads here in PA/NJ are pretty rough, not like SOCAL and FL unfortunately.

 

You will love them. They are the perfect OEM+ coilover solution.

 

Well, I know have a pristine set of Bilstein EVO SE coilovers for sale. Gonna post them in the Marketplace soon. Part No. 49-300581. I bought them from KBS911, who had them installed on his '24 C4S for 1,000 miles. I have not even taken them out of the factory box that he shipped them to me in. I paid $2,700 shipped. I am just looking to recoup my costs. I will sell them for the same, shipped anywhere in the lower 48.

Part No. 49-300581 - is for PASM equipped cars that also have FAL.

PM me if you are interested.

 

What will you get instead?

 

The correct part no. Bilstein EVO SE (49-320657).

 

Anyone happen to know the spring rates on them?

 

Bilstein updated them about a year ago. The rates are posted around here somewhere.

 

49-300581 - (49/130 N/mm, Progressive/Progressive)

49-320657 - (60/130 N/mm, Linear/Progressive)

-I question them writing the 2nd kit is linear just by looking at the springs but who knows. The non-FAL kit clearly has linear springs on one axle.

I’m currently debating buying the 49-320657 kit so I have all these specs saved lol

 

Yeah, I have a hard time believing they are linear from the look of the front springs. I have looked closely at the pics of the different front springs and they do have different numbers printed on them.

49-300581 is for PASM w/ FAL

49-320657 is for SPASM w/ FAL.

Either will work on any 992.1. However, for some reason they have stiffer front springs on the SPASM specific suspension. Ironically, the non FAL kit is the same across the board. Who knows?

 

Does anyone have the Bilstein EVO SE's (part no. 49-320657 is for SPASM w/ FAL) installed on their car? I'm curious if there is a significant difference between the two FAL versions. Ironically, 49-300581 is a special order now from Bilstein. I can also confirm that people with SPASM and FAL have installed 49-300581 on their 992's and have been very happy with the set up.
