No problems with speed bumps, and scraping is not an issue with steep drive ways if taken at the right angle. As far as improved handling, i bought the car with the PSS9's on, but from what i hear they do help quite a bit.

My experience has been the ride is smoother yet much more responsive. Very different and much better than stock. This is interesting as the springs are definately stiffer. I have the FVD version BTW.

FVD uses slightly stiffer main springs and I beleive the same tender springs.

I am more than happy with my PSS9's, The ride can be made softer than
stock for a long trip (comfort) but still handles better than stock.
I can turn them to 1 all the way around and do some real sport driving.
For looks, improved handling and occasional track days I don't know a better value. You want the tuned system...struts and springs. Just adding springs
will not work well with stock strut dampenings.
Go for the PSS9's you will love them.

Seems he attempted to sell his PSS9's in the F/S section without having the required 100 post minimum. He was banned for a week by another mod.

He does anyone have any ground to fender well measurements. I just put JIC's on my car and I like the height of BiggerApe's car. Got any ground to wheel well measurements?

I have them written somewhere... will look for it for you or get it remeasured after the drive tomorrow. it took me damn near an entire day to get it juuuuuust right!


BTW- dude got banned for trying to sell his PSS9??? his PM to me sounded like he needed advice and opinion of what I thought of them etc. Odd!

Anyone have problems after lowering with rubbing with Techart wheels? I had to have the rear fenders on my 996tt rolled to stop rubbing with stock height.
