Had them on my car for about 3 months and took them off. Rebound is all wrong for the spring. PSS9s are a better choice.

For street set up at a relatively low height(no lower then gt2) in conjunction with the h&R sways middle set, was able to have a pretty good ride set up. THe problem is that I kept breaking front mounts do to my aggressive driving. Rebound is not like a JIC. but you get what you pay for right Steve?!!! I just went JIC 7-9 GL

Which is better for a lowered street car JIC or PSS9's? I may track it once or twice a year. Running 19" techarts. Oh yeah I like my fillings

"Rebound is all wrong for the spring."

More like the springs are all wrong. They only raise the spring rates 10lbs over stock. Not enough.

PSS9's are suitable for most street driving and occassional track events. Of course H&R uses Bilstein sport Sport shocks in their 996 coilovers, but the spring rates tend to be higher on the PSS9's.
