Jaded996-- You're going to love them
AIRjordan23---The drop was done to my specs, the installation is pretty much straight forward should only take you 6hrs max ( very important to have a good rake angle)--Joe

I never did suspension so if anyone can chime in on how long it should take assuming you have the right tools and your planning on doing it yourself. I do understand I will still need to get it professionally alighned.

Took me about 3-4 hours to figure out how to do one of the fronts, but then I did the other front in about 1.5 hrs.

Those V3's look really nice, I may want to change my PSS9's to a set of V3's, I got a really good price from the guys at Tcarbon.com for V3's. The Porsche applications aren't up on the site but I just e-mailed them about it.

Great thread-
So I'm also deciding between JIC or KW3, I have to change what I have on the car now and Vivid carries both brands. My driving is mostly aggressive freeway / town / mountains and eventually I will get my sorry butt out to the track.
Don't want bone-jarring stiffness and religious experiences with potholes, but want good performance especially at higher speeds. The added adjustability features of the KW3 are intriguing, and it would seem with either one (JIC or KW) I would be able to adjust adequately for track when going, and then adjust softer for normal street use.
Are the JIC's a progressive spring?
Any advice is appreciated-

For track and street NO PSS9's go with KW. Street only PSS9 is fine.
