very clean! how long have you had your PSS10 and how much noise do they make? Mine are horribly loud.

billspreston · 01-26-2014, 11:47 PM

Well I've only had them on for a couple days, but they are dead quiet. No louder than stock.

Do you have the squeaks? Had KW V2s on a 135i that were squeaky as hell it drove me nuts.

Loving the color combo!

Mine were quiet at first then started clunking on dips while turning, now its progressively worse. Mostly when turning at low speeds, I've had them checked twice and nothing is loose.

Looks very nice! Ride height is spot on. Just love EBII.

Can't go wrong with BBS CH-R on F30, very nice color combo!

Huh, that is a bit alarming. I'll keep an ear to the ground. I believe Bilstein USA has an office in the San Diego area, you might be able to take it up with them as a last resort?

Stock 19" tire profiles are 40/35 and I have the same. I see a lot of people on this forum running 35/30 and I'm not sure why

I suppose that way you can run a wider tire?

I was thinking about calling them actually, I've ridden in another F30 with PSS10 and it had the same issue.

Mine does it only when turning.

The CH-R's look great without the stainless ring. Offset and ride height are perfect

I wonder what that issue is, bc I have the KW (as you know) and I also get the same issue, usually at low speeds and turning hard but more when I am in reverse at low speed and turning. I wonder what it could be?

JN1 · 01-31-2014, 11:38 PM

Ive heard a few people with this issue, but seems to be those running lower ride heights. If I had to guess its the way the spring is compressed and or maybe its the upper OEM strut mounts
