PSS9 Question

I believe the PSS9 shocks are single adjustable. Does the adjustment affect jounce or rebound stiffness (or both)? Can they be adjusted as soft as stock shocks?

both...
I think they can be made very soft...Most people run 3 or 4 (smaller number = harer settiong) but you can dial them all the way to 9!!

Ebaker I understand your Question,I have the Pss9 and ther ads are misleading! the strut /shock is single adjustable in that the compression dampeming and rebound dampening are not independant adjustments the internal valve stack is situated on a commonshaft so as you turn the **** you adjust the compression and rebound together not always the best situation. on my race car I have a true double adjustable shock and have set up soft compression dampening and stiff rebound for the handeling I was looking for but as in life there are always compromises and the pss9 is one of them

welcome JimC. I noticed Libertyville, Il. You must know Sol at perfect power inc. Check out the thread on corner balancing and road stability.

The single adjustable Koni's I've had on several cars in the past only adjusted rebound stiffness. I was curious to know if Bielstein's were the same.
