Default Bilstein New PSS10 kit Winter Sale

I have 15 to 20 sets of the new PSS10 for the 996TT available. These are NOT rehashed PSS9's, but the new designed PSS10 built specifically for the turbo platform. Cost is $2,778.00

Please realize that there are cheaper units out there, but most likely they are for the 996C4. These have just been released.

Please email me or call.

This a great mod...better looks and the improvement in handling and ride comfort are something you notice on every drive.

Hi Kevin, I have PSS9s that I got about 5 months ago, at the time I was told PSS10s were not available for 996 tt. I like the ride and handling has much improved but I would like to lower the front bit more, however the PSS9s in the front can not be any lower, on the other hand the rear has plenty of turns left in it to be lowered. Is this the norm? My indy who installed it said I would need to get different springs from Bilstein.

There are no other springs from Bilstein for the PSS9's, I already called and checked.

You sure about that? FVD and Euro version PSS9s use different springs!

Im gonna call around tomorrow and see if there is a solution. I know there is rubber piece that can be removed, I know someone that did that and it lowered the front but the ride was awful, i mean you could tell that rubber piece was needed.

I called Bilstein and spoke with 2 different people, 2 different times. The first guy said there was nothing that could be done. The second guy said to call H&R or Eibach. Neither of those companies had replacements. What FVD offers, I don't know.

650, Are they for the turbo and not the C4? Regardless, I not going that low.

Bilstein USA will custom valve the PSS9's and PSS10's they are VERY limited for the spring package. I DO KNOW what the Euro tuners that bring the kits in and what they are doing to change the ride height. It is "not" a perfect solution. Lowering these kits to below GT2 ride height is NOT recommended.

Kevin, what's the expected ride difference between the X73 package vs PSS10's. My plan was to go with JRZ's until I rec'd the prices & the Australian Dollar dropped 30% in value .

PS. I'm back in Aust for a few weeks....plan to install the yellow monoblock brake package & RS motor mounts next fortnight.

Kevin, I know you wouldn't post this without reason, but I have to disagree here. My car is well below GT2 ride height and works very well with the PSS9s. I will have to go back and confirm where David bought this kit from. He may have bought the FVD version. But I do know my car is extremely low and has no bumpstop issues with the PSS9s I'm running.

Also, I plan to eventually pull all four struts and send them back to Bilstein to have them revalved. They've been on the car for about 6 years and have had the most abuse put on them in the last 18months of that lifespan. Although I'm very happy with the performance, I feel they need an R&R.

Mikelly, if you get a chance, can you measure your front height so I can compare, thanx.

My car is in the shop right now getting a "street" alignment. I expect to get it back on Monday.

It should be taller than in these pics when I get it back, as the reduction in negative camber raises the car back up.
