Wheels Asia - PB Coilovers Review

ALL COILED UP!

PB Performance isn't just about Big Brake Kits that were featured in an earlier issue of Wheels Asia; the company has also been making waves in the European and US aftermarket scene with their fully-adjustable coilover suspension systems.

After reading rave reviews of PB's Coilovers all over the Internet and numerous international magazines giving their seal of approval, not to mention PB's involvement in various European autocross and rallying events, I was convinced of their performance potential. The WRX was previously fitted with a popular Japanese brand set of coilovers that was meant more for track than actual street driving. Even at its softest setting, the ride was jarring, motion-sickness inducing and just plain uncomfortable. Sure it excelled at the track but I was spending more than 90% of my driving time commuting around Singapore, the bumpiness made it all the more unbearable. It .was definitely time for a change. Prior to getting my coilovers changed, I was already testing PB Performance's Big Brake Kit, which I was very impressed with its performance, quality and pricing. PB's Coilovers are no exception as well. The coilovers are fully height adjustable with 30-stage adjustable damping, high-grade steel springs and backed with a one year guarantee! PB has even gone one-step further than the competition by offering tailor-made coilover kits for any application. From custom spring rates to ultra low ride heights, drivers can even choose between black or white springs and camber plates. Installation was fuss-free as the PB Coilovers come with top mounts already fitted eliminating the need for spring compressors. With the coils in place, I took the WRX out for a quick spin and the result was immediate, I was no longer being jolted up and down in my cabin repeatedly. Instead, the dampers literally soaked up any road irregularity with ease, comfort levels were akin to near stock settings. Throwing the car into quick successive turns and bends, the PB Coils held up very well too with very little tipping or flex. At the time of this story, I've had the PB Coilovers on the WRX for nearly two months, it's definitely well suited for daily street driving without sacrificing comfort nor handling performance, minus all the drawbacks commonly associated with other aftermarket coilovers. A perfect balance for anyone looking at purchasing set of coilovers that allow you to go for the occasional track day, while still maintaining good road manners while driving on our streets, and the best part, it will not cost you an arm or a leg.
