Product Description
The B14 PSS Suspension System from Bilstein features a height adjustability from 30-50mm (1.18 in - 1.97 in), depending on your vehicle. With extremly sturdy and thick mounting brackets and brake line brackets, for applicable systems, these are sure as sturdy as a suspension kit gets. The shock valving is specific to each vehicle that Bilstein has developed a B14 set for, so there is no need to adjust the valving for general street and track use from what Bilstein has set from the factory. They are also perfectly matched to the provided progressive rate coil springs. The monotube construction allows a higher performance shock and more direct feel for the driver.

- 20mm Thread Adjustment Range
- 30-50mm Lowering Height Adjustment (Application Dependent)
- Aluminum spring perch plate and lock nuts
- Triple-C Technology shock body coating for long lasting durability

Does not appear to be designed for Mazdaspeed 3. Requires usage of spacers
The rear shocks do not appear to be designed for the Mazdaspeed. Installed by a professional on 08 Speed. Giving 2 stars because item is listed as a "fit" for our car. You can make it work, but any install fit issue makes me concerned about the product's longevity. Replaced very tired OEM shocks (unknown if they were changed prior, but assume no, vehicle has 150K mi+). Had Koni Yellow struts. Using on highest setting as it is snow season in Mass. Ride is harsher than before to be sure. The sort that the wife will complain about if she is riding along. Have not tested on track as of yet, but neither will the majority of the buyers of these shocks. For daily use...I would not recommend these.

Best DD coil around
Have driven on Ksport, ISC, BC, Megan and Tein. Nothing touches these for comfort and control as a combination. If you want a significant handling upgrade over stock, but don't drive on freshly paved roads all day, this is the coil you want. More comfortable and more precise than my koni/cobb setup by far and more controllable and worlds more comfortable than my ISC setup. Not for stance lovers, they wont slam the car, but if you want an improvement in driving dynamics and drive in most north american cities, this is the setup you want. Would not hesitate.

Comfortable performance
Lowered all the way down, still comfortable for daily driving. Can be adjusted without removing the wheels. Handling is much improved over stock, body roll is non-existent during normal/spirited driving. Wheel hop has returned during launching, resolved with stiffer passenger and driver motor mounts. Previously only had 88 duro RMM installed. Very good entry level coilover, not designed for extensive auto cross or tracking. Performs as advertised. Installed in 2 hours, reuses front top-hats.

Suspension review
In overall the product i have bought is good but im kind of upset. There was one item missing in the box : the adjustement tools. We looked everywhere and we did not find it. It would not have been so bad if it was not needed but it was . We were lucky that our friend has them because it would have been impossible to do the job by ourselves. I would like to receive them because it is suppose to be your job to check if the order is complete. That si the only thing i am not satisfied of.
