Default Euro PSS9 Revalving and spring rates?

Hi all,

I am looking to get my US PSS9's revalved and resprung to the Euro spec. I have been talking with Bilstein but as of yet have not seen a reply.

Does anybody know this information?

Cheers,

Ben

I was wondering this myself. How does one go about freshening up the stock suspension?

-Choose your spring rates _ usually 200 to 300lbs stiffer in the back ( i.e. 500f -800b) buy springs 8" x 2.25" Id front & back

- send your shocks with all available info (Including weights & spring rate) here
http://www.bilsteinus.com/services.php
make sure to use the rush service

- Buy upper spring hats and lower spring perches for 2.25" springs

- Buy rear upper mono ball shock mounts

- buy 4 solid lower caster arm pucks

- buy adjustable toe links

Install all of the above, set ride height & align and you're good to go.

Rob ...great move thats a great set up I did a similar one on my 04 it makes a major difference....These 04 GT3 were very tricky when taken to the track ..Thats why so many were crashed...If you redo the supension the car will ride better and be much SAFER...Good Luck Lew

Interestingly enough I found out from Bilstein tech support that there is no such thing as a Euro PSS9.

The US and Euro PSS9 are the same beast. This includes the valving and the springs.

FYI -- was going to do this revalve with PSS9 and ended up going to a triple adjustible setup. I have the springs for sale that I was going to run which are the same I.D. as the PSS9 springs, so no need to change the perches. I also have top perches to work with monoballs....let me know if you're interested!
