try a search. The pros and cons of the PSS9's have been discussed at length.

In short, you can't put them as low as you want. There are issues with them riding on the bumpstops if you go as low as GT2 ride height. They are however height adjustable, and the stiffness is adjustable by a dial on the top of each spring.

If you are tracking a ton, these might not be agressive enough for you. But if you want a better, lower, adjustable suspension, and you're only tracking a few times a year, these are probably your best deal.

They run from around $2300 - $2900 new. Expect another $500 - $1000 for install.

I wouldn't go lower than 1.25 inches or you'll be in danger of riding on the bump stops...

How do you measure? My car is already lowered with PSS9s. I also have 15MM spacers which probably work the suspention a bit harder (longer lever arm). I swear it feels too low sometimes.

Ari was referring to the spacers he's using for his wheels...

Go from the center of the front wheel to the center of the front arch (before and after). But do you feel much bump steer? If so then you're too low. Measure your height and I'll try and see if that's within spec.

sharky, that would be great if you could give us a range that they should be in. I had mine installed in the "range" that Bilstein says is ok, and I believe it's 30mm lower than stock.
