Default Bilstein PSS10 VS Intrax 1K2

Hi all ,

At the moment i have the bilstein PSS10 kit on my CSL ( most of the time used on track) but now i'm starting to push the CSL harder and harder on track i find the PSS10 to soft so i'm looking for another suspension kit .

So i hear very good things of Intrax , the 4 way is too expensive but the 1K2 kit seems to be the way to go .
Is the 1K2 much better then the PSS10 or is the difference too small to upgrade ?

Or any other options ?

As an other option... couldn't you just change the spring rates for stiffer ones then the standards springs that come with the Billstein PSS10 kit and maybe have the Billy shocks serviced ?
Also polybushing your anti roll bars front & rear with "POWERFLEX" stuff might help
Just a though

I already have the powerflex bushing , billstein does not offer other springs, H&R will make them but they ask €1000

Intrax is good. I have 1K2 on mine and really like it. Have to think about rear mounting point for coilover unit though. Lot's of adjustability and easy to adjust. Still fairly expensive though.

Have you thought about KW? Their new range has better adjuster system now and it's certainly quality stuff with lots of choice on spring rates and a good service/rebuild dept. Very reasonable price as well.

Best bet would be to change to the Intrax 1K2 kit.

How much you wanting for the Bilstein kit?

You can get off the shelf springs for the PSS10s.

Auch that's a big chunk of cash for 4 springs Surely "Eibach" would have something to suit, for less ?

Out of interest do you also run the RTAB Limiter kit Matt?

You may have said before Alex but what's been your solution to date for the rear mounting on your car?
