Default Has the Bilstein thread issue...

been resolved? Or does one still have to buy the aftermarket sleeves to get proper lowering?

Thanks

What is "proper lowering?" Ride height is a matter of personal preference.

I've had the RoW M030 w/HD Bilsteins setup for over a year & been very happy w/it, including the height. Great handling & ride comfort w/no road/curb/driveway clearance problems.

I'm happy you're happy.


Just asking if the lowering would allow for euro specs. Not meant to offend.

Gert has the Bilstein HD shocks with additional threads on the front to allow for more lowering. No need to get adapters anymore.

Hi Rolo,

If you look at Gert's site, he has: "P93 M030 w/ Bilstein HD with 30mm lowering! On sale in July" listed under the "soon to come" heading on the main page. Looks like they are nearly available... e-mail Gert for more info. No affiliation (other than frequent transactions ). They might turn up at other sources soon as well.

Please post pics if you go this route... 30mm sounds about perfect... although I am torn between these and PSS-9s.

Mark.
