Considering PSS10s w rear toe links as next mod. Want a more aggressive ride and maybe lower a bit. No track, just a little spirited driving. Opinions???

I have same setup PSS9 with droplinks and it's lowered. Also went with spacers and it looks SOOO much better. Does quite well at the track as well. I think I could use stronger sway bars to get a bit more out of the system. Make sure you have good tires that match as well. I have tried out a few and found a huge difference in comfort/performance/noise.

What size spacers did you use? Did you run Hankook tires with your setup? Any photos?

thanks

I picked up the spacer kit from Dan(Vivid) I think it's something like 8mm front and 16mm back +/-

Haven't used Hoosiers but just replaced my MPSCups and now running Hankook V12- much better road tire! Running Laguna Seca March 12th on the V12s and will post my thoughts. Pics below-

PSS10 for a street car. Chances are if you don't lower the rear too much you can get away with just the adjustable rear toe link. Other wise you'll need dog bones and drop links.

+1 on the pss. Consider the higher rate spring options if you plan to track it.

Larger sways are s must as are a 235 front tire. (assuming 295/18 in rear)
