DIY ! Install Bilstein PSS9 (B16) Coilovers on your Porsche ! This is part 1, where I show how to install the front set on my 987.2. Watch for part 2 for the rear installation.
Important! 😮I just realized that I had forgot to transfer the stop collar from the oem shock to the new shock. This would have saved me some problems on the height adjustment on the carrier.
Thanks very much for this video. I noticed you did not migrate the stop washers that set the OEM struts at the correct height in the wheel carrier over to the Bilsteins. I am in the process of doing this same install and can't tell if you need to. It would seem that these washers provide some support to the strut in the wheel carrier beyond the pinch bolt and definitely stronger than the small metal tab on the side of the coil over. Is that stop washer supposed to come from the OEM strut over to the coilover?
Yes. I didn't do this and it was my error. Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/Tv9ypm2Gdtg/w-d-xo.html for the proper procedure. Thanks, I'll need to fo back and correct my video.
Thanks for showing how to do the fronts; I'll stick around for the rears. Also look forward to a set up and driving impressions video!

Did you like the PSS9? I cant find a review after done. Especially how they were on the street.....I am sure they were great on track.
I found that the softest setting was the most Montréal street friendly.
Great video, thanks!
Do you have any recommended dampener settings for the street?
Cheers!
I ran full soft for the street.
Outstanding video best so far out of many. How different is the 981?
I wouldn't expect that there's much difference. No personal experience though.
