The SACHS Coilover we tested has 20 settings (the Pss9 has only 9) of shocks stiffness. The first run was set to F11/R13; and the second run was set to F8/R13 which made the ride slightly firmer without any significant adverse impact to ride quality. This is a major advantage over the Pss9's limited settings. (You can adjust the knobs for front wheels by hands without any tools)

Most important, with the SACHS improved ride quality, the BMW is felt like a better quality performance sports car that even the steering sharpness has improved.

I have been riding on a 325i E90 installed with the regular SACHS Shocks and Springs, trust me, it is nothing any closer to the SACHS Coilover! You will love it.

BMW 7 series was using SACHS as OEM supplier, I guess SACHS really "knows" BMW cars!

I'll probably be the first to go for it.

The lists of participants of the test drive the SACHS Coilover are very happy

Hi Cnt!

Thank you for your detailed review! I will at most consider the SACHS suspensions in my list! Let me know when you will also get it! perhaps we can both buy it at the same time at Valiant so we could get a good deal on it...

By the way.. who I should talk to at Valiant in regards to this particular parts? Last time I went to their shop, I was talking to one of the guys at the counter, I wasn't really sure who was whom. It would be nice to be talking to the one who owns the demo/shop car..

Thanks for all your help and brother, let me know when you want to get this piece... Im always ready!!
