Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anybody have any experience of the following PB coilover suspension systems for road use. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-996-911-Carrera-4-PB-Coilover-Suspension-Damper-Kit-2WD-4WD-/280875605463?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DDLSL%252BSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%252BUA%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D280858451984%252B280858451984%26po%3D%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D8555669058792839130 www.pbcoilovers.com Cheers Gordon

POST 2Original post

I can only see negatives: 1) Too cheap to be of any real quality. There's a reason that Bilstein et al charge what they do. 2) Seller has only 3 feedbacks in the last year. Hardly a business, is it? 3) Item is being sent from Taiwan - if it's rubbish or even just starts leaking, what will it cost to return it? Remember that it will cost you two geos too. 4) The pbcoilovers.com domain was first registered on 15/3/12, so again, no real track record & IMHO, not a real business. 5) Last but not least, suspension is a critical safety item. This hasn't been tested by the TUV or similar. I would hope that just this point alone would put you off. My advice would be to call Chris at Center Gravity and ask for his advice on your options.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hmmm, probably right. Thanks for the input. Gordon

POST 4Original post

Ouch, yes, give the fact that the entire kit is only the price of 1.5 OE shocks I wouldn't touch it, and for the reasons mentioned above as well. You can however get a coilover kit from design911, they have a pretty good following and track record, so their kit should be of a reasonable quality. I believe it retails at just shy of 1k.

POST 5Original post

Strangely they also sale under the name pb brakes (without the 2), which has 61 all positive feedbacks for brake and suspension kits. Personally I prefer to purchase from someone who has a door I can knock on if problems!
