I have pss9s and Im not on bumpstops. They have to be installed by a qualified shop that in my opinion has a racing team... just my opinion.

Nice ride man. Best of luck with it.
Now get in here http://www.bumperplugs.com and get painted rear bumperettes, bumper and door plugs, and short shifter.

I have a X73 alignment with FVD spec PSS9s.
I feel like my car tends to bounce off bumps in the road when the suspension is loaded up in a turn. Pretty unsettling on the chasis.
While we're at it, my car exhibits some off throttle oversteer especially in decreasing radius turns. Not difficult to catch (and the PSM does a great job of intervening if it's on). I raised rear tire pressure to 40 PSI and that helped a lot. I'm going to try 44 R / 36 F next. Using the slow in/fast out method seems to work much better.
I am no race driver, but feel that I have more skill than the average joe for sure (which isn't saying much
)

)However, I will say this much: it really depends on how you drive , where you drive and for most poeple PSS9's are more than sufficient. Just not for everyone, thats all.
