Interested, but standards- pricing(including shipping), and delivery times.
Is there a sponsor on this side of the world that has the same package, with all the same components, and the new threaded HD's (not old stock without), that would be able to offer the U.S. warranty, maybe lower shipping, and no customs fees. Just wondering?

Does anyone want to do some legwork on getting an out-the-door price on PSS9's????

Jeff,
The pricing for the H&R/bilsteins is from Gert's site. They are just a spring and shock package no stabilizer bars, so that explains the difference. I think people run them with the stock bars (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
If the price difference was less (maybe 350 vs 500???) I would go with the M030 springs\bilstein\stabilizer bar combo.

I might be interested depending on price & timing, later the better for me. On a similar note of anyone is interested in a group buy on a strut brace later in the year?
Cheers,
David

I'm going to see if I can get some pricing on PSS9's in the US. As I do, if anyone has suggestions for sources, I would appreciate it.
I hear that sourcing M030 springs in the US is very hard right now due to practically nil supply.

Care to show a picture from those "standard" US shocks????
AFAIK we are the only company that can order the extra threaded front shocks from Bilstein.

Gert, that is not exactly what I said (but close) The US Bilstein folks starting importing the 30mm thread models back in June. At that time they told me that while you commissioned Bilstein in Europe for this specially, that it was not an exclusive and they planned on making it their standard once older inventory ran out. As such, the US has two part number currently to choose from: the standard thread models VE3-4692/4693-HO (list $515) and the extra 30mm thread model VE3-B648/B649-H0 (list $599). Didn't Bilstein in Europe mention this? I have sold and installed dozens of the extra thread models in that time. They are readily available here.
PS -I sent you a PM with a pic.
