BC Racing BR vs Bilstein PSS10

[jonnyd330]

So I just got an 04 ZHP for my new daily and it has some leaking shocks so I am looking at getting coilovers. It seems like a lot of you are running the BC Racing setup which I am leaning towards with the swift spring upgrade. But I have been cruising around on retailers sites and came across a really good price on the Bilstein PSS10 so I was wondering if anyone has a comparison of them?

Edit: Never mind I just realized the PSS10 has a $600 up charge. I guess BC Racing is the way to go.

no comparison, really. bilstein build quality and damping is far superior.

that price is for the PSS (non-damping adjustable); if you click on the 'vehicle model / coilover system' drop down menu, you'll see that the PSS10 is another $646 - which is still cheaper than other places, but maybe by $50.

i personally run the PSS and i think they are pretty darn good. they are fantastic DD suspension, with a lifetime warranty.

This. BC is way too damn stiff; the quality of the ride out of the box with the Bilsteins is superior.
Also don't forget... Bilstein carries a lifetime warranty​.

It sure as hell hurt my pocket... but I'd say it was totally worth it.

BC Racing is a cheap semi-entry level coilover system. Great for the stance crowd/hard parking crowd though.

Personally I would look into springs and shocks over BC Racing. Or in that price bracket, go with KW V1 or Bilstein PSS

I run ground control coilovers with Adjustable koni shocks and custom eibach springs. It rides like factory and highly recommend it.


I'm also in agreeance with the other guys, bilstein is in a different/superior league

I thought these were what Chuck put on his ZHP?

You know.... The guy with a ZHP, and an E46 ///M3, and a Porsche.

For daily driving Swift springs are overkill. I'm running BC BR Racing Coilovers on my M3 and they are decent if you spend the time adjusting them.
