How to install Bilstein B14 PSS coilovers on my Mk7 Golf GTI. This is a very similar process to installing lowering springs with the exception of needing to remove the rear fender liners to remove the stock dampers. Coilovers give you the additional feature of height adjustnment. The Bilstein B14 Coilovers allow you to adjust the ride height between a 30-50mm drop from the stock ride height.

I didn't mind the drop of my 034 Dynamic+ Lowering springs (or the ride), but Brynn complained that the car was too bouncy. I decided I would give these Bilsteins a shot because I had heard they ride really well and I have to say after a few hundred miles these truly have out-shined the stock/lowering spring setup.
