The Bilstein B16 (PSS10) is a ride-height-adjustable coilover kit with 10-stage manually adjustable dampers that tune both rebound and compression with each click. It uses monotube performance dampers matched to application-specific springs on a zinc-coated, threaded body, allowing roughly 30-50mm of lowering and Triple-C corrosion protection. Made in Germany and developed on the Nürburgring, this kit fits the VW Beetle, Golf, GTI, and Golf R.
