Is it worth it to pay more for a bilstein pss9 agaist the h&r suspension if you only track once a month??

underpsi

pss9 are adjustable, h&r is just ride height but if you only track a few times a year then either set will be good enough. h&r are also cheaper and there's a killer deal for a set on ebay now.

When I purchased Bilstein 2 years ago, product support and after sales service was an issue. You'd have to check the archives for relevant information as some folks had problems getting warranty or replacement parts service from H&R.

You had support issues with Bilstein, or you discovered in your research that there were issues with H&R? Please clarify. I'm in the market for these now as well.

I am also considering the PSS10 vs H&R. I had H&R on my 964 and like them a lot and was weighing the added cost/benefit trade off for PSS10's. It seems lots of people have/like the Bilsteins. Can anyone with H&R chime in an opinion?

Well, let's muddy the water a bit more. What about the JIC CROSS Competition's vs. the Bilsteins. A little bit more cost, not much, with what appears to be a little more options. I mean, if I am gonna spend $2400.00 on Bilsteins, is there a significant difference to go up to the JIC for $3,000.00?

To clarify........at the time I made the decision to purchase Bilstein, several folks on various forums were having problems getting H&R after sales support. It seemed that there was no one in the USA that was responsible for support. IIRC, you had to work with Germany if your H&R retail outlet couldin't or wouldn't help. Bistein has a center in S. California. I purchased from Steve at Rennsport Systems in Portland. He carries both brands and recommended Bilstein over H&R for this reason.

I have no idea if this situation has changed in the ensuing years. Why not call Rennsport and ask?

I've received direct support from Josh at H&R. No issues with any type of support from H&R.

I'm a bit confused, are you guys discussing just H&R springs? or a coilover setup. I bought my 03 with the H&R sport sprinigs on it and was wondering if there was anything I could do for the dampening..

Fred R. C4S

Just changing to lowering springs (of which H&R seems to be the preferred choice) is a whole other issue. Let's agree, that if you can afford it, coilovers provide the better solution to ride, handling, looks, etc. When selecting coilovers, there are several choices, priced from the expensive to the ridiculously expensive. Your selction among these depends entirely upon your intended use and desired result.
