Guys- My TT is not my daily driver but I use it about 3 days a week. I do a lot of weekend 200 mile drives with my Wife and kid. I'm looking for the right suspension to accommodate my street stupidity (without the family of course!) and ~3 DE days a year at the track. I currently have ROW set up on the car and find it a bit wobbly at higher speeds thru corners. Cost is consideration but not the main factor. Used or new?? PSS9 or JIC??
TIA for the advice.

What tires are you using?

 

JIC = great suspension, but not for the wife and kid. PSS9's are much more forgiving for street use.

PSS9's are exactly what you are looking for. JIC is a race suspension.

 

Exactamundo!! For most people, PSS9's are more then sufficient!

 

Omeed brother, I just did the JIC and H&R sway. Love it and highly reccommend it. Call Alex at Max.

I have the H&R and they are just fine

 

I have sent you a PM

 

We install both the JIC and Pss9 - Moton - JRZ etc

The Pss9's are good - but as of lately the JIC Cross kits have been better. If you are looking for a little more shock control then go with the JIC. It is still a street suspension and far from a racing suspension.
The nice thing about the JIC set up is you can change the ride height of the vehicle without changing preload on the springs. Which you cant do with the PSS9's.

There are alot of myths about suspensions-

Seek advice of someone who knows what they are talking about and not someone who is selling parts out of a catalogue and just repeating what they read in the information brochure.

 

Only comments I would have are not product specific Ape.
If you are going to seriously mess with the TT's suspension 1st of all have a good shop that will work with you to tune the result to your taste....this is not an afternoon 'bolt-on' and drive-away-done (and if it is, you probably messed up more than you've improved).
As has been mentioned, go with something that's height adjustable....rake and corner balance do affect handling. You mention 'wobbly through the corners'.......so personally I'd say adjustable anti sways could-should be on your list.....again, adjustable DLs so adjustment is easy......tightening up that rear with new bars will also tune-out some understeer.
Lastly...keep in mind everything is a trade-off when working with your suspension, and since you mention 200 mile trips with the wife & kid .....well, I'll just say, my wife does not ride with me in the Turbo any more...we take a diferent Pcar......tomarrow's our anniversary & I learned a while back that this topic is no longer worth discussing

 

I went with Techart Vario. Love the setup. Was warnd about the PSS9's from the hardcore contingent on 6speed. Do some searching on this topic in the 6speed forums...there have been a lot of debates on the topic. The bottom line is always...what do you want to spend. There's options at all levels.
