I just installed my PSS9. I have a 02 TT with 19 IForged 245/35/ and 315/25 9 in front 12 in back.
Its set at 5 in the rear and 4 in the front. I just drove it a bit on the freeway but it seemed a bit loose...maybe a bit more in the front. With the streets in LA I dont want it to hard...so what are y guys doing as far as setup goes...
Thanks

BTW. I didnt have a chace to realign, thats getting done on Fri....how much diff will that make.

 

I'm set at 4/3 (F/R). I don't know how you got away without alignment after install. It is a must!...maybe even corner balance.

 

dude alignment is a must when u getyour suspension done..

 

I would probably say since the whole suspension geometry has changed, it is probabably your alignment. When I did my PSS9's I had the alignment done and it felt well planted and more stable at triple digit speeds. I have mine at 2/1 and it feels just a tad stiffer then 4/3.

 

Set height & rake to preference & spec range.
Corner balance.
Align.

all the difference in the world.....

 

As you know the lower the number the stiffer the ride. Most people agree that you want the rears one setting stiffer than the front. If you're running 18" wheels most people use 4/3 (F/R) or 5/4 (F/R) is you're running 19" wheels. Either way seriously consider upgrading the sway bars to either the H&R or GT2 bars. With the PSS9s the initial travel is very soft and progressively gets firmer. You may have noticed a pogoing effect going around corners with the stock sway bars because of the progressive nature of the PSS9s. If you upgrade to the H&R sway bars, the ride will firm up somewhat, but the pogoing effect will almost be completely eliminated. If you upgrade to the sway bars, do it before you perform the alignment.

 

Align the car - seriously now ...

ideally you would want to corner weigh the car- bump steer it and align it.

 

PSS9 Set up
For a street car what do you run for toe front and rear? camber?
Shocks are at reccomended installed height.

'03 C2, 19" w/RE 01r. Right now Im at -1.2 R -.5 F Camber
w .030" toe per side R
w .006" toe per side F ( toe is IN figures are inches )

Shocks are set at R 2, F 3
Stock bars.
press 34/40
How does this compare to what you guys are running?
Fabryce, what bars do you reccomend, and do these settings look close?

A friend says his car feels sluggish compared to his 965 which has few real suspemsion mods.
Input would be helpful guys. Thanks, Jay Putnam.
