Bilstein B14 PSS vs KW V1 Inox ?
« on: July 31, 2012, 02:44:26 pm »
As above people !

It's pay day so I have narrowed my coil over choice to the above.

What do people rate out of the both.

Reasons for coils:

1) I want my ride to be low not to low.

2) Want it stiffer then my current setup (lowtecs on standard shocks)

3) I want it to handle payloads better then my current setup i.e. passengers and a boot load of shopping, current setup sometimes scrapes on those square humps in London ;(

4) HANDLING much improved please.


Input would be great peeps !

Thanks !

Bilstein every time for me, we sell loads, fit loads, get great feedback on them and they never go wrong.

I can't comment regarding the Bilsteins but I really like the KW V1's I have on my Octavia over standard.

I think it will be very difficult to find anyone that has tried them back to back.
