No the PSS9 Kit does not include rear coilovers, just shocks and springs.

I stand erected!

Thanks for all your comments guys really appreciate it :thumb:

Simps, I didn't think the Pss9 (Ring spec) Bilsteins used rear coilovers like that ? I know the E46 M3 ones don't as I've fitted 2 sets, chances are they are a normal Bilstein coilover assembly so getting them refurbed shouldn't be a issue, you just won't be doing it yourself.

Whats actually wrong with them or did I miss that bit when scanning through ?

Keep up the good work James :thumb:

Nothing is wrong with them - i brought them 2nd hand and they have 150 poundage springs on them and i wondered if anyone stocked different springs thats all....

Good thinking about the bottom mounts, top work all round :thumb:

I wish I had your skill and determination.

Pics of said beam?

You know what beam lol I sent you some pics!

EDIT. Forgot to say, great work though :)

As it happens i wondered if it was your old one - i didn't receive any pics though you just said you would send me some as i wanted to compare - do you have some decent quality ones?

lol Sorry i thought id sent some, my bad. The only ones i have were in my for sale thread i think?

Mines now redundant, was going to sell but noticed it was a pile of poo as they hadnt welded the plate what the stub axle bolts to, parallel so would of ended up with serious camber issues!

It was Tom who pointed me in the direction of walden, everything else in the kit looks spot on though.

Yours looks a bit more sturdy with the extra box/brace under the extension.

Regarding springs, Olly pointed me in the direction of - http://www.dfaulknersprings.co.uk/ but I've found that going to Gaz direct is actually quite cheap!

2x 6" 425s & 2x 8" 550s was just shy of a ton posted. Thats 2.25 & 1.9 ID.

Just replied on my WIP too but I haven't got any photos available at the moment, I did take some when the beam arrived but they're long gone now. When I get it on the car I'll send you some over :thumb:
