Bilstein B14 (PSS) Suspension Kit

Start The Machine · 03-10-2020, 11:02 PM

I had Bilstein B6's on my RX-7 and they were absolutely amazing. I can only imagine what these B14's are like. Wondering if anyone has pulled the trigger on these yet for the Camaro?

Hmm i'm looking for something to replace my stock shocks with lowering springs and these look like they could be a decent option.

That’s interesting. I didn’t realize Bilstein offered shocks/struts and springs for the 6th gen. I wonder how they compare to the GM offerings.

the shock warehouse link right above the box that states "don't see what you're looking for?" it mentions 2016 camaro

That's what comes up for the 2017 Camaro SS on the Bilstein website. It's a different part number than the 5th gen kit and also references "2016 Camaro" in the instructions.

Here's all of the available shocks/struts and spring combos available for a 2017 Camaro SS: https://www.bilstein.com/us/en/produ...96970168793435

They definitely make B14's for the 6th gen Camaro LT & SS. They also offer their B6 Struts for the 6th gen as well. That would be a pretty nice little set up paired with some Eibach or Vogtland springs.

The struts / shocks might be nice to pair up with the GM 1LE suspension kit (intended for MRC cars) for those of us without MRC:

it appears they come with springs also but not sure what springs they are

also it appears they are special order from germany and require a vin# to order

Thanks for digging. Any info on spring rate and which swaybar / wheel/tire combo that was optimized around?

It’s good to see more options available!
