Looking at changing to coilovers on my car.
Mainly fast road driving no track use.
Looking for a more aggressive look for the car.
Don't think I will wanting to change settings regularly.
It's a RS4 B7 saloon.
Thanks for any comments.

i have the PSS9 on mine and love it , its definately stiffer than the DRC but it handles so much better , you willneed stiffer anti rll bars too with coilies , as the drc was good at stopping roll the sway bars are fairtly soft , , i was never really enthralled with the drc i found it liable to be a bit wallowy at times , but the bilsteins will try and pull the tryes off
they are easy to adjust too mine are set at 4 on the front and 3 on rears , the V3 rear rebound cannot be adjusted on the car , the top mount is not acessible unless you unbolt the mount to get at the adjuster m the billys are inverted monotube and much bigger dampers on the front and are made of better stuff but the choice is down to cost or quality really

My choice would be the Billys, top quality product and as rwilsonrs4 says adjustable easily, Bilstein do a cheaper kit that is non adjustable to.

I too am torn here but most peeps at meets have and love the V3's. Btw can you not drill holes in the suspension turrets to adjust without removing them?

I'm also interested to hear if stiffer arb's are a must when replacing DRC with coilovers?

I guess you could drill holes but a drill bit certainly won't be going near my strut tops

I don't know about with coilovers as I don't have them yet but I would say stiffer ARB's are probably the single best improvement I have made to a B7 handling wise!

Thanks for all the replies.
Have decided to go with the PSS9
I will run them for a couple of weeks then going to add stiffer ARB not sure which yet.
Will update on how I get on.
Running standard wheels with 10mm and 8mm spacers and 255 tyres.
