Bilstein Set-Up?

Post by Halesy » Mon Oct 01, 2007 5:22 pm

Hi All,
Finally got around to getting the DRC unceremonially ripped from the beast and the Bilstein PSS9's are going on as we speak (not to mention the new discs and pads all round - Ouch!! :shock: ) Was wondering if anyone who's performed the Bilstein upgrade has any updated advice on their settings having lived with them for a while? Not really up for balls out racing/track days etc just want something that feels like the old motor should. Problem is i got the car with the problem and have no real idea what it should feel like (ie smooth, tense, bone shattering etc... though i do hope not bouncy any more). Would really appreciate any feedback.
Also anyone got any idea what to do with the thing when its eaten all your money - not to mention Mr Browns latest swipe +2p/ltr!! Already pre warned the kids Father Christmas is talking about coming out on strike this year! :twisted:

My KW V3 is being fitted today - will get car back tomoz with over 500 ponies if they have time. ;-)

Just got the green light from the Mrs for the chip. :evil: God it's addictive though, now I'm thinking Milltek tomorrow as well.. mmmm.

Grizz, sorry I just didn't want to have the 450 mile round trip, but cheers for the quote. :beerchug:
