Had the new Bilstein PASM Coilovers installed at AWE

And they were worth every penny.

The car is transformed from my previous H&R springs. The ride is far less rough but still compliant. Turn-in is vastly improved over stock or with just springs and you can really feel the car rotate. The car generally feels much smoother and isn't succeptible to bump steer and the car tracks far straighter. Overall, they are a worthy upgrade for the car. I hope to get them to the track later this year.

Don't waste your money on springs. Pony up for the coilovers and you'll thank yourself in the long run.

A big thanks to Mike and AWE for doing the install and doing a great job on nailing the alignment.

I actually brought it up about a quarter inch from the H&R springs. It's a much better ride height. You don't scrape the front nearly as much.

Ian, they look great - congrats!! That does look like a very good ride height and the price is VERY reasonable. I'm sure you remember even high-end Evo coilovers were that expensive or more.
