PSS9's have been a part of this forum for some time and I know a lot of you have put them on your cars.

Has anyone of you tuned in your settings really well to the point that you love the ride of the car? Please let me know so that I can dial away at mine. Thanks.

Hey Dave. How much worse is it than stock? Just wondering. I've heard mixed reviews and you don't seem to bull**** around.

I've got to admit that it is a lot better than the stock setup. Did Watkins Glen without it and then Limerock with it. What a huge difference! However, when compared to the M030 factory package on my Boxster S, it pales in comparison. That's why I don't think that I've got it dialed in correctly (It's adjustable.). Also, in all fairness, I don't yet have the swaybars to make up the "whole" suspension package.

Thumbs up dialing in pss9

I'm no track exdpert only a couple of DE events at Road Atlanta. I had the pss9's installed and the car was originall set on 6,6 front and back. Car rode like a dream but lacked the super crisp steering response I had heard about. I did research on this board and others and found other members praisin 4 fron and 3 rear. My car is set up 10mm lower than rest of world setting and on 4,3 it rides firm but acceptable but handles supremely. I just had the car corner balanced after about 6 months with the pss9 and I must say you need to do this if you put on an adjustable suspension. Car is going to settle and what felt good before is really kicking some *** now! I was charged $450 for corner balance and new alignment and the car feels WAY better. Can't wait until June 11 &12 for DE at Road Atlanta to compare. My 2 cents are pss9 is great street some track set up and corner balancing is a should do after car settles with time.

Silver,
Thanks for the input. I'll set up to 4,3 and see how it feels.

Mine was originally set at 6,6 and currently on 4,4. It feels great. Be very careful when you put the plastic cap back on that you don't change the setting. There got to be a better way to adjust them.

I've been driving with 4/3 for several months and it's perfectly streetable. I'll be trying 3/2 soon now that my *** got used to 4/3 as "normal".

I told you 4,3 was crisp. Get the car corner balanced after a while and it will feel even better.

Hey hhazrati,
I think I know who you are. I was in the Silver 01 turbo and my buddy was in a white 96 c4s. I'll be there in june in the turbo with number 63. I believe you are the guy I met at Jim Ellis one time and we were parked right beside each other at a DE before. If this is you your car looked sweet. Aren't you the one that was pulled unfairly for noise in the AM? Look for ward to seeing you.

I'll give the 4/3 a shot for a few weeks. Since I like my cars stiff (Cars only, thanks. I play for the right team. ) I'll probably give 3/2 a try after then.

Thanks for all your input. I knew this was the right place to ask the question.
