Question Ruf Pss9 suspension spring rate

I was wondering if anyone knows if you can change the spring rate on the Ruf Pss9 sports suspension kit? I'm looking for a more firm ride.

Thanks

I know that JIC offers different rates (I had them change mine). I am not sure about the PSS9s...

I know there are different springs you can get for different PSS9 set-ups. I have the FVD version and it is stiffer than the US version. Not sure about compatibility across set-ups though.

I also have the FVD Pss9s. I believe it has stiffer main springs.

It should be adjustable, there's a "****" at the end of the thing.

That doesn't control the spring rate, however...

Thanks, I have played around with the shock settings, and it has firmed up the ride a bit. I think that is more of a spring damper control though. Overall, I am happy with the ride, but with these wonderful maintained Northern California roads, it feels like the spring rate is not responding quick enough, and it tends to get a little bouncey at times.

I believe the PSS9 spring rates are all the same (maybe different for Euro vs. US versions), Ruf changes the shock damping a bit but the spring rates are the same. Ruf also supplied a new rear sway bar with the kit which improved things quite a bit.

I know what ya mean The spring rates in general for PSS9s are pretty low for the weight of the car... You're options get more expensive in terms of Motons or JIC's (although some people have had drop links go on the latter).
