As the title states I’m after some Bilstein coilovers for a B7 rs4.
Opinions from users with experience of either of these appreciated.
Anyone selling a set?

Fitted PSs 9 b16 in sept last year after several members recommended them.
Just love them.
Totally transformed the car.
I have them on a high setting for daily use cos the roads are crap where I live.
Results In a very comfortable ride.
Set them to 4 if I intend being a bit more sporty.

Thanks for your input, sounds good.
What is your ride height?

Unit 20 fitted mine to my c5 RS6 and they recommended 1 inch from top of tyres to wheel arch on all 4 corners.
I have 19 inch wheels.
Setup looks good imho and handles really well.
At the same time replaced top mounts and bushes.
The b16 are amasing. I just love them.
Hope this helps.
Ps if you go to the RS6- RS6 plus c5 4b section. There is currently a lot of info under best suspension.

i had them on my b7-fitted myself[b14] greased them up,made sure they were kept as good as poss,used the car a little in winter and the finish on the front damper body was horrid after less than 12 months
if i could have been bothered i would have removed and sent them back
not cheap either
i wouldnt buy them again-work fine enough though it must be said
but if i was doing it again i would just go standard or adjustable springs and koni shocks tbh
