Product Description

The Bilstein 48-080651 B16 PSS9 Coilover Kit is a premium suspension upgrade designed for Volkswagen Group PQ34 platform vehicles including Audi A3, VW Golf IV, and SEAT Leon models. It features a fully adjustable coilover system combining height adjustability with Bilstein's signature 9-stage damping control for precise tuning of ride comfort and performance.

This system allows drivers to fine-tune both ride height and damping response, offering a balance between daily drivability and track performance. The monotube gas pressure design ensures consistent damping under heat and load, while the threaded body enables a lowering range of approximately 20-50mm. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking maximum control over suspension behavior, it delivers improved handling, reduced body roll, and sharper steering feedback across a wide range of driving conditions.
