Bilstein B8 shocks+H&R springs or PSS10???

Hi everyone,

I am a newbie here, i'm looking to lower down my E92 (waiting for July delivery).

Looking for all C-hing to comment & advise:

Options:
1) PSS10
2) Bilstein B8 shocks+H&R springs
3) only H&R springs (recommended by the BM sales)

Not sure which way is the best way to go... Can any c-hing pls help? Any good place/garage to purchase and install it?

Again, thx a million

both 1 and 2 will have big improvement over stock, however, pss10 provides you the adjustability of height and softness whereas b8 shocks will be set, no change unless you change springs, pss10 would be a better choice if your budget allows!

i would not change springs only, not only it fck up your shocks and they will die early, the ride is not comfortable nor stable, and it gets worse over time

never go for option3. otherwise, you will need to change your original shocks in 2years! H&R is lower than Eibach pro kit. However, it is "harder". just fyi.

I had adjustable Koni Yellows on my Accord Coupe in Canada... but never adjusted them. Then I had Tein coilovers on a CL7 Accord... never adjusted them.

I think if the PSS10 were in stock when I got my suspension done, I would have bought those over the B8 setup, but they weren't, but most likely I still wouldn't have adjusted them after the initial install

Now that my tires aren't busted, the ride is actually quite good. Corners are very very fun, and not as much body roll, should probably invest in some sway bars next.
