Yeah mate, I am, my pants are firming up thinking about it.
I have preordered a set of PSS10 coilovers and should be shipped to me (Australia) in October 2016.

Here in Germany the Bilstein B16 PSS10 is already being on offer:

The price is about 1,920.84 EUR including 19% German VAT (with discount already). That said, price without VAT should be about 1,614.15 EUR. If they ship to your locations overseas - e.g. USA, Canada, Mexico, Australia - I don't know.

Bilsteins are golden in my world. Konis are great but Bisteins are better. I got word last week that QA1 is making dampers. I will have to verify this.

Ridiculously expensive?
It's a complete suspension kit (with coil springs and shock absorbers).
See here: http://web1.carparts-cat.com/defaul...3120B64ED775431F94BBD0D8FB8C2D10018004&12=130
If they are exported overseas the German VAT (19%) wouldn't apply to you.
Bilstein here in Germany is a well known and long established company famous for producing superb suspensions, even many Porsches are modified aftermarket with Bilstein suspension kits and coilovers.
However, my decision was on a KW V3 in April 2016 because there was no Bilstein at that time.

I would have bought Bilsteins as a first choice but their delivery is on the permanent slide. When I called earlier in the year it was going to be in August after being told before that it would be late spring. So I went with the Konis. I love the Konis but if they were both available, I still would have taken the Bilsteins.

Thanks. Didn't realize they were all that. Not bad at all then.

After reading what I thought I already knew about Konis, I may just go with Ford Racing shocks or Steedas with some Swifts. I had Konis on a Dodge Neon ACR and they were hard as you know what. Then again, so were the springs.

What did you hear bad about Konis? I haven't seen anyone say bad about them yet. I didn't mean to say they were bad, I just think Bilstein monotubes are great. I also would have gone with Steeda dampers if they were available when I made my purchase over the Konis but they hadn't announced yet. There were many people trading up from the FRPP to the Konis when they came out.

That they are stiff as heck.

Huh? They are adjustable. They go from fairly soft, from what I hear, maybe just softer than the FRPP all the way to very stiff if adjusted that way. Sounds like you just heard from someone that didn't have theirs adjusted correctly.

I had Swift Spec-R springs and Bilstein B8's on my Mazdaspeed 3 and they were fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to put them on my Mustang. I'll be looking forward to see if you do a review.
