Could the OP post a photo of his TechArt suspension? I looked it up and found this one, called "TechaArt Vario" http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...ht_5263wt_1120
The rear spring doesn't look like the ones on my PSS9's, which are straight, rather than tapered.

One way to tell is to measure the ID of the springs. Bilstein uses a 70mm ID spring in the PSS9, and not many of the others use that diameter.

If they are the Techart "Vario", this was a very well respected suspension when it came out. Techart had trouble delivering at first. I had a set on order, then ended up going with the Ruf PSS-9's, as Techart (CEC) was 2 months out on delivery. They were rated as being pretty equal in terms of ride quality to the Bilstien/Ruf PSS-9's. I think you would be perfectly happy with them, unless you want a hard core track set-up.

If I were you I'd call TechArt and ask them for some specifics on the spring set-up. If I'm not mistaken, they are an upgrade from the regular PSS series that Bilstein sells. The PSS9's and 10's are really only a street shock.

I guess I'm really only looking for a good street shock as the cab will rarely see the track. Thanks for the input.

Hey Powder - Did you ever get those PSS10's? Great coilovers.

Yes, waiting for install. Smokin deal at under 1500.00. Not sure I can pull the deal for anyone else though but will check next time I see the rep. He want to check out my set up once they are installed. I ended up selling my techarts.

Thanks, man. Let us know if you can hook up some fellow 6speeders. We'll name you Suspension King for the day.

You should no matter what buy those PSS10s for $1500. You can then sell them to me for $1700 and make yourself a cool $200
