I did, that's why I'm planning on the KW V3

Darn. Has no one gotten PSS10s at all in this community? If so, someone please put up a review . . .

The OP purchased these in June of last year. As far as I know he's the only one running this setup. Lots of folks have asked for reviews, install notes, pictures, or just plain old feedback (in this thread and others) but nothing so far.

So I'll ask again: it would be really would be a nice addition to the knowledge base here to get a solid review on this! Come on man, help us out! Something like this (post 13, which is short and sweet) would be great!

Just buy KW V3 they cost very close to each other
and the kw is reviewed and documented very well

Z4-VILLA · 02-03-2012, 03:18 AM

the pss10 set up is everything I hoped it would be, my car feels like its glued at every angle.....this thing is my daily driver. during the week I run setting 5 squared. but.....
on the weekends I get loose with it and tighten up the settings. which may sound like a conundrum but the tighter the setting quicker the power gets put down so you break traction quicker. I run 10 in the back and the front gets a stiffy all the way to 7. The stiffness adjustment is so easy its almost a laughing matter. Im still using my stock RSMs no issues so far. Ill have to search for pics...

I believe they're at least $600+ difference (Bavauto has Pss10 them for $2050), unless the V3s come with camber plates---I don't think either come with camber plates. I understand that the V3s are very well documented, and are probably a safe bet. Just wondering if PSS10, which have gotten wonderful reviews for other cars, are any good for us.

This is great to hear! Thanks for updating. Any problems with installation? Any weird noises, etc...

Thanks!

thx for the long awaited review

Z4-VILLA · 02-03-2012, 09:54 AM

the adjustabability of the system as a whole is amazing, You dont even need to raise the vehicle up for the stiffness changes. Too bad it aint as high tech as some of the other stuff Bilstein has available ie; push button adjustment from inside the vehicle (E92 M3 only go figure!) but I give the system 5 out of 5 stars

Were there brackets for the ABS, brake line, and other sensors on the shocks? Every picture I see of the shocks do not show them having brackets---wondering where these wires go.

REALLY interested in this system. Thanks.

Z4-VILLA · 02-03-2012, 11:22 AM

the system fits like a glove nothing is out of place eveything lines up and connects just right

Z4-VILLA · 02-03-2012, 11:25 AM

Review, excellent, and thank you!

The one thing i don't like about the V3s is that the rear shock reservoirs are in the way of taking out the break pads. Not sure if anyone has figured out an easy way of swapping pads at the track with V3s.

From what I hear the biggest thing going for the PSS10s is that they're cheaper, and the adjustments are much easier to make, with better positioned knobs.

marinb · 02-03-2012, 03:38 PM

Thanks for the review! One of the big reasons I'm considering these is because the adjustment is a nice big dial on the bottom of the shock, no need to remove / modify the rear carpet to adjust the rears.

Do you think it's possible to set these up with the same height as stock? I really don't want to go much lower for daily driving.

Pss10's are better priced and are superior to MANY other systems. Brand and Price mean dip next to function.
