Billstein PSS9s Availability.

[GardinerG]

I've been trawling some other forums and have come across something interesting:

Bilstein has stopped the PSS9 for the RS6 due to mechanical failure and will not sell anymore units until they make the new PSS10 for our cars

The question is, is it true?

[suffolkmarque]

could well true,because the usa dealers said the bilstein kit is still in development,and kw is out of stock in germany because they are waiting for components
I think i have exhausted all avenues or it certainly feel like it! .....I would be prepared to try any other make of suspension for RS6,so i was able to use my car.

[mattysupra]

this could well be true as i found out the other day that bilstien dont make a kit for the rs6?????????? and that was bilstein who provided the info! Hows that work?

[suffolkmarque]

I'mm sounds Great thanks,
I had the same answer,only i thought that there was some communication problem with the shop and bilsteined.Strange!!

[mattysupra]

um maybe we should do a post for the guys that have fitted the kit if there is a problem with it? Need to get it confirmed first

This is quite a serious allegation, particularly as many people have been going down this route to supposedly solve the DRC failure.

Anyone know the source and reliability of this?

The PSS9 shocks aren't leaking, it's to do with the plating:

we get snow and they salt the roads get rust on the coils and cant adjust the threads after a few seasons
