KW v2's or Bilstein PSS9?
Im looking to upgrade my suspension. A little about my driving habits, i drive very spirited and track my car from time to time. Im looking for street comfort with the ability to be used on the track as well. Which of the two systems offer a better ride quality, along with lasting build quality? Sorry or CKS coil overs.
Thank you in advance!

if you asked the owners who have had both, most will say the bilstien.
they are more solid and smoother, dampening adjustment is great. When you dial them in nicely they are great on the street or on the track. they are not a set of extreme performance coil-overs (like motons), but perfect for all around use and occasional track. I would put the pss9 on the same level as the KWv3. last but not least I've also heard that the kwv2's chirp like crazy, not sure if they fixed those problems yet... |

For my 335, I went through the same decision-making process and got the PSS9's after hearing bad things about the KW's such as noise and broken sway bar endlink tabs.

V2, V3 all had these problems. the swaybar end link part is so cheap. The pss9 follows the OEM(which is also made by bilstien) shock design. |
