Well the price is right....but does anyone have any feedback using these?

I got stockers on there right now, and the right front side needs to be replaced. With the strut costing $447.00, and with the car having 60,000 miles I think it would be a good idea to replace/upgrade all of them. I also know that I'll probably want the ride height adjustment in the future.

What are the kits you guys are running? What's the feedback? What do you like about it, what are the pro's and con's.

The car will probably be street driven with ocasional track time and it's a 2002 Turbo Tip, which it bone stock for now.

wrasse is infamous around these parts
I just got PSS10 installed. I love them. Sure it's $2500 instead of $1000 but then you gotta add $1000 install. If you are keeping the car for long, I'd just get the bilsteins, their customer service is unmatched and they are proven. Not worth the risk in my opnion. But if anybody has tried them, I'd like to hear too.

Labor is no problem as I'd do it myself. So I'd just pay for allignment. However, I did do a search and it seems like some Boxster guys are running KSport in their cars. I understand that Bilsteins are premium stuff but what's so great about them besides the customer service?

The differnce is the settings that you have to chose from....I am sure that the springs may be better too! I just installed JIC and very happy with them.
