What made you choose this particular product?

Initial purpose was to lower the car, lower the center of gravity and eliminate a certain potion of body roll, which could make the vehicle more suitable for driving it on track.

Is this your first time buying from this brand? Did you consider other brands?

Was initially looking for KW Variant 3 set for my grande, however got convinced into buying B14's instead.

Was it easy to install? Any installation tips that will help others?

Installation does not require any further modifications.

Once you've had a chance to use the product, did it meet your expectations?

Absolutely, the car instantly got that touring car-like feel to it.

James Ritchie

2003 BMW M3

What made you choose this particular product?

The roads in the UK are very poor quality so the aim was to improve the ride quality over the OEM suspension whilst increasing road feel and handling characteristics. The PSS10s were modified to allow additional suspension travel at low ride height. This in combination with the other chassis modifications allow for a very competent 'fast road' set up, confidence inspiring even on the worst road surfaces.

Is this your first time buying from this brand? Did you consider other brands?

I considered Nitron and Intrax however they were much better suited to track application so opted for PSS10 for the road
