PSS10 vs KW Street Comfort

Amir87 · 07-25-2010, 03:15 AM

I've searched and can't find a direct comparison between these two coils.

I'm looking for a smooth riding coilover that will be used 99% daily driving on the streets. No track junky here.

My main reason for leaning towards the PSS10 is the ease of adjusting the dampening.

Interested in everyone's opinions.

I am in the same situation. I do not track, nor intend to, but I do want better handling, less bodyroll, and more control at higher speeds then my current non-sport suspension. Was thinking of the PSS10, as well as other coilovers, but now I am thinking of the BMW performance suspension???

UGGGG!!!! Decisions!!!!

i'm seriously thinking about pss10 though I too won't be tracking it. Just want a good suspension that can reduce body roll etc but with good damping.

To be honest, getting PSS10 for ONLY the reason for a smooth ride (no tracking) is a little overkill IMO. After all PSS10 is not cheap. But hey if you have the money to burn, by all means that's one of the top choice I would go for.

I would simply go for H&R + Koni Sports for a "PURE smooth ride" purpose.

Does H&R + Koni Sports improve handling as well? Also I'm concerned about longevity.

Plenty members run that setups for years (2+ I think) without issue, including LTBMW's crews.

I just got the KONI yellows put in after riding on OEM shocks with HR sports for about a year and theres a world of a difference. The car rides smooth, you don't feel the bumps, handles great and doesn't cost an arm + leg. This setup is the most cost effective and the best bang for your buck. Ride quality is amazing! I love it!

Pulled the trigger on PSS10's.

I have the KW Street Comfort, they are nice. The ride it nice in my option for aftermarket suspension. My car hugs the road, I love it. Going to take it to the canyon this weekend to test it out. I dropped mine 1.7 in the front and 1.5 in the rear, with the M3 off set.

I also got a deal on mine from one of my buddies. Not sure how much you are looking to spend.

And arn't the PSS10's more expensive then the KW's?
