Bilstein PSS9's - feedback on rear
I am thinking of getting Bilstein PSS9s for my 2004 TTQ 225 but there seems to be some issues regarding the rear springs collapsing.
Does anyone know whether this has been corrected or have any other input or advise?

Have had PSS9's for 3 years. Biltstein has replaced, under lifetime warranty, front and rear shocks
I just had the front coilovers replaced yesterday along with new H&R stiffer rear springs and new cups and bearings for front shocks. Car rides so much smoother than it did before.
I am really looking forwarding to getting it back on the track now. It's been a long time since I had control over the ride.
The rear springs did not collapse, but settle into each other as part of the design. The PSS9 rear spring rate is 315. The new H&R springs are 450. You might think this would make the car bouncy are very rough riding, but I am amazed at how smooth the car is. I do have the shocks set on soft.
The reason for the much stiffer rear springs is to help the car rotate better and turn in quicker on autoX and large tracks.
I also did the Haldex race controller.
It is alot cheaper to do the mods together, but much tougher to feel out what each does for you on the track.
