PSS9 C/O owners opinion

I have been considering as set of PSS9s and recently was given a good price.

For those of you who own a set would you buy them again or would you go a different route?

I am looking for something that I can go from moderate to aggeressive street to moderate track.

I have also been considering a set of H&R RSS but, do not like the lack of tunability.

Feddback wanted

I installed the PSS9's right after the first track event I took my car to. The stock suspension was HORRIBLE. The PSS9's where a huge improvement. The car used to be an insane pusher and leaned over far to much. The car still has a tendency to push but now it's far more neutral than before and is more reactive to changes in tire pressure to adjust it out.

I run them at full firm all the time. Some may find this a bit too harsh (my wife) but since it's not a daily driver I don't mind it.

I've never ridden in a car with Motons or JRZs so I can't say if those are better or worse but I believe the PSS9's where an absolute no-brainer and the only thing I'd do differently if I had to do it over would be install then sooner.

So much better than stock suspension. I have not tried motons or JRZ either, but for the price PSS9's are great.

pss9's were great on mine. Little track time but on street better ride than stock. I also had h&r bars front & back great improvment turning into corners.

I've had both. Bought the Turbo with the 9's and installed a full Moton stage 3 suspension their after. For someone who is not going to see the track a lot, i would go with the 9's, no brainer.

There is a very informative thread somewhere on this board discussing pros and cons of pss9's. A major reason I sold mine is because you can't lower it enough without compromising shock travel. Its a very entry level setup. I think JIC would be the way to go if your going to stay in that dollar range or spend a little more and get JRZ or Moton.

How are your JIC's doing? I had a few sets in he past and they had to be rebuilt more than I want to admit.

The price point for the Motons are just something I want to balance against other modification budgets at this time.

Thanks for the feedback.
