Hi Guys, I will like to get an opinion on what's the best setup for the Bilstein PSS9. Both the front and back shocks can be adjusted between 1 - 9 in term of hard & soft. I drive mainly during weekend with baby and in-laws on borde but occasionally I goes for night driving with the E60 gangs. Thanks for your attention.

I think if you are planning for any hard driving, definitely set it 8/9.
If its regular daily driving with the baby, I think 4/5 is good.

I've got the Pss10's and when I have my 20's on I set it on 8 (higher the harder). and right now I have 17's for winter setup and its set around 5/6 setting.

Hmm. maybe you're right, and I have the settings reversed.
When I turn it Clockwise it goes harder / higher setting. Maybe I can't read dials right. HAHAHa
But just keep it in the middle for the best feel.

for PSS9 1 is the hardest and 9 is the softest...
usually for daily driving 7/7 will be nice...
for some spirited driving around town... i set to 5frt 4rear
i tried 2/2 before too.... firm...but not harsh... still comfortable imho...
