The company who installed them measured an exact 25mm drop on all four corners. I didn't have the car corner balanced afterwards. Before installing the Bilstein's they marked a line with a market through a certain part of the suspension underneath (forgive me, I don't know what the name of the rod and ball joint was called) and they showed me that after installing the Bilstein's the initial line that was marked up was back to the correct point. For memory they explained this was to save having the car corner balanced, but don't quote me on that - my memory isn't the best!

Would you have a photo of the car? My B16s are coming by the end of the month and i am thinking about the amount of the drop to dial in.
I want the car still to be able to go underground garage without scraping and stuff. Do you have issues? |

TBH - letting Billy B16's settle for awhile - after install - is probably wise. Spending the time & $$$ to get the car setup too early after install is likely to lead to sub-optimal setup. Enjoy, BP

Thanks for the advice. I just drove the car to Uxbridge for its PPF and roof wrap. It felt way firmer than the last ride on the stiffest setting so I imagine I'll be dialling it back to a slightly more softer setting for the time being until I track it. Karl

I've just dropped the car off at the retailers for its PPF, but I'll take some pictures of it tomorrow and will post. Remind me if I forget 👍🏻 I haven't had any clearance issues with the 25mm drop and I don't have a front splitter. I think it looks good at 25mm too. Karl

Here are some pictures I took earlier of the 25mm drop on my car. Let me know what you think. No clearance issues either on any ramps whatsoever, although the missus did feel sick after riding in the car on the stiffest setting so it looks like I'll have to adjust it to make the settings softer 😂

After changing my brake pads today I put the setting to 5 all round as the hardest setting was really too much for normal roads, especially UK B road, but I expect it will be awesome on track 😎

It was from a friend's place while watching the Hot Version (152) video in Japanese. My friend translated for me. I will try to ask him for a 2nd look.
The M2 in the Touge race is from the tuning shop Studie AG. In the mean time, you can view the car's full setup below (suspension starts from 14:09). Use the auto-translate feature in youtube to decipher. |

Did they ever come off backorder? I ordered a set last Sept. The rears were at my door in two days, fronts back ordered. Had several updates looking 6 to 8 weeks out. Finally send the rears back a went with Ohlins a couple months ago.

I guess they have been been back ordered since February smh. ETA is beginning of next month. I guess I'll have to look at other options in case the delays go on.

That's mental, many outlets here in Europe carry B16 on the shelves for immediate delivery.
I ordered mine a few weeks ago and got them 2 working days. Maybe order from Europe? PS: they're great |

Bilstein
Would like to order a set of B16 PSS10 or Clubsport, however after reading all the backorders and lack of stock I don't think its worth it. Any warranty issues could take forever to work out. Will be looking for a more reliable suspension Company. Backorder, after Backorder = Unreliable.

Finally got mine installed. I think they are set too low, it's a little bouncy over small bumps in the road. Overall way better than stock suspension and very happy with them. Oh and no more wheel gap.
