and from what I remember Steve wasn't really happy with his PSS9 Bilstein.

He used to post as SG535d, but has got an M3 CSL in the meantime.

I'll send you a pm about it.

I wanted to add one more thing when you purchase a aftermarket product on your car
make sure you can get rid of it in a price that is very close what you paid before...
what I mean is you should consider quality,name and resale value when buying parts.

just my 0.02

take care
Tony.

If you purchase a authentic Hamann product it has its own warranty. And you can return with
confidence anytime if any problem persists after its purchase;I guarantee it.

again my 0.02..

best regards,
Tony
