Need some PSS9 help and Advice

My PSS9s are set at 6 all around right now and I think I want a more aggresive ride. I don't want to destroy the car so I don't want to put it on one or anything, but I was thinking 3-4. If I make the front 3 and the back 4 will that help me induce a little more oversteer? I have a pretty neutral setup right now with some toe out in the front and a decent amount of front camber, but i want MORE. What setups are you guys running?

Also how do I adjust them? I have a lift so I can put the car in the air easily to get to the front ones but I think I have to remove the back deck to access the rear adjustment, right? How do I get the back deck off or do whatever I have to do in order to adjust the back?

I DID try search!

Thanks,
Bill

AlanS is infamous around these parts
PSS9 Settings

If you have the Bose Subwoofer, you have to remove it first to get the rear shocks. Fold down the rear seats and pull off the plastic subwoofer tuned port covers. That should reveal some Torx screws that have to be removed (you can use a hex wrench in a pinch). After that the subwoofer should lift out, be careful to remove the electrical connection before taking it out of the car. Then you should see carpet flaps, that you have to open, then take out a block of foam. Then you should be able to see to top of the shock towers. If you want to reduce the understeer, make the rear stiffer. I run three in the back and four in the front. If you're running six all around, you might want to try five in the front and four in the rear first.

Have Fun!

4 front 3 rear and maybe a rear sway upgrade. I am going to try 3 front 2 rear and see if it is too stiff. Firm now but compliant.
