Have seen a guy from HK trying to sell his B16 in the past, apparently he disappear after that post
It's not a cheap mod as far as i know, how's the ride quality? and how much drop did you get from your sport?

It's not my car but a friend's one.
Haven't test it yet personally, the comment I heard about it was
" Family man will love it ,rides even better than Mercedes airmatic , as for sport ? no competition with B16 PSS-9"

Wanna know any other comment on this.

I got it installed on my car. I like it very much. The fact that I can switch between comfort and sport gives me lots of fun.

How do they compare to KW Coilovers?
Can you program custom settings for sport/comfort dampening and rebound adjustments?
Can you adjust while driving (on the fly)?
And the most important question... how much $?

i bet the b16 is at least 2500 +

i read the ad in EuroTuner. A press of a button changes the suspension stiffness
