Bilstein PSS - Where to buy?
Has anyone purchased the Bilstein PSS (SS0-8301 - PSS) for their SC recently. I'm having tremendous difficulties finding any place that actually sells them anymore.
Anyone have a location or possible ideas?
Thanks!

Wait so the PSS for the GS will fit the SC with no problems? If thats the case Im selling my Teins and getting the Bilsteins. I had Bilstein PSS coilovers for all my past cars and I love them!

Allshocks / amazon do not have them in stock - I place an order through them and they said they do not know if they will have them in stock again. They couldn't give me any answers.
Also Shockwarehouse.com initially had them in stock now they are telling me that bilstein no longer ships them to the US and that I would have to buy through europe
Just placed an order with eshocks.com (hopefully i'll get lucky)

eshocks.com (out of stock as well)
i'm curious about the Tien CS now. I thought that the bilstein's were better hands down. Is this open for debate?

I had the PSS from my GS on my SC and boy did that car handle like no other. Very flat cornering at speed. Problem-Very very harsh ride on the SC vs the GS. I mean harsh. Some freeways were unbearable. Top up meant hitting my head on to the roof.
That stiff. But...Great for handling.
I am currently with Advox coilovers. So far very pleased.

So wait.. If I'm hearing this right, the suspension from a GS will fit our cars? I went on Shox.com to see if I could get some Bilsteins and they only listed one set of springs and no shocks or coil over kits.. But just to see, I put in a 01 GS and a whole lot of stuff came up.
Does the GS weigh more than the SC? Most Bilstein stuff is pretty compliant. My friends GS has a Bilstein coil over set (Dunno if it its the PSS) but it rides just about perfect. I'm very jealous of his set up.
Thanks

but that's pretty much where it ends. the car has very different weight distribution, etc... so the shocks dampening and the spring rates they are all very different. you can fit the gs stuff on the sc430 but that's far from saying they will perform well on the sc430

Well just another update. It now looks like the bilstein suspension has been discontinued in the US and will no longer be shipped. shockwarehouse contacted me again to inform me that they would try their best to get them from Europe directly but it would be costly
Unless somone wants to jump in and tell me they have a set for sale
