Hello!

I read here earlier that people were having problems with the pss9 coilovers. Appearantly some rebound valve issue on the rears... Does anyone know if bilstein have done anything to correct this?

Not just the rears! but I don't know if the problem has been resolved ( I doubt it as now they don't admit there's a problem ) I sent mine back and fitted KW Variant 3's instead !

How much are the KW's in the UK?

I've seen them for 1680 euro in germany.

Are you running default spring rates (70/60 N/mm)? I've heard some think it's too soft. Those numbers are 399/342 lbs/in (if I'm not mistaken) and that is harder than most run the leda's. Though KW's springs are said to be softer than their rating. Any thoughts on this?

Yes I am running default spring rates which I feel are fine for normal road use although a mate of mine ( Bad Bads ) has already commented on this board that he feels that the front spring rates could be increased for Track work.
