The Bilstein B16 (PSS9) is a complete front and rear coilover suspension system with threaded ride-height adjustment and 9-stage manually adjustable damping that tunes both rebound and compression in one click. Each kit pairs monotube performance dampers with application-matched springs on a zinc-coated, Triple-C corrosion-resistant body, allowing roughly 30-50mm of lowering. Made in Germany and developed under motorsport testing at the Nürburgring.
