anyone running b14 pss?

[bender128]

Haven't found any threads of b14 pss being used for occasional track/dual duty since there is no adjustable dampening.

Curious to if anyone runs them and what their thoughts are.

I have B14 PSS on my car which sees both track and street use.

Overall street manners seemed pretty similar to stock, although stock with 70k miles on them. Not super forgiving, but doesn't bottom out on damaged pavement and not too extreme. No real increase in NVH.

Lowers a good bit from stock and noticeably much less body roll at the track than with stock suspension; is more planted.

For the money I think they are great, I have not had any other set of coilovers on my car, so can't compare to others really.

Do you know which factory suspension you were running before switching to the B14?

Curious as to the drop at max height, vs. stock M Sport suspension.

Thx!

I was running the OEM M-Sport suspension. With the height adjusters set to max height it was initially a 5/8" drop and probably settled to be a little more than that. The wheels have a very slightly tucked look now, but nothing too crazy.

Cool thx.
Are you running factory 261s as well?
Any pics?

Apex ARC-8

Sure

[Fishee]

Thanks, really clean!
The car looks virtually new.

This is at max height?

[Gneiss]

Ha, thank you, nice of you to say, my eyes are always drawn to the blemishes :/

Yeah, max height, and I guess maybe worth mentioning I have Dinan fixed camber plates which add about 1/8", but this is a fairly recent photo, so the suspension is settled at this point.

Gneiss Do you have the performance brake kit? Are those 18s? Thanks!

Hear lots of good things about KW's and Fortune Autos... Any opinions here vs PSS9/10's?

The car has the M-Sport package, but the 6/2 piston Brembos are universal, I believe, across all 135i models and trims. I do not have aftermarket calipers, yet.

Yeah, they are 18" Apex ARC-8s
