I may get the PSS9 soon and I would like to know more about the differents settings...I want more confortable than stock (bad roads) and not floating at high speeds....minimum track

 

Thank you.
Is 1 the hardest setting on these ?
or
is 9 the hardest setting ?

 

For PSS9s...first it really isn't a hardness setting, but a setting the effects the dampening of the shock. The lower the setting the faster the recoil (speed/rate of recovery). I suppose this does tend to "stiffen" the ride.

 

I realise pSS9's are "harder" on 1 than 9
......I mimicked my PSS9 settings on these Gemaballa coilovers, and they are too "soft"

Which raised the question, are they set up the opposite way ?
or is the valving that is different....?

 

Uh..why don't you just try it...it takes what 5 minutes to change them...I won't say anything about the Southern hemishpere effect.

 

I dont have access to my hoist atm, and the car is too low for a trolley jack,
.......so not a 5min job unfortunately

everything turns the opposite direction down here, hence my initial question

 

PSS9's are great for the street but if you plan to track and have the car lowered there is a known issue of them hitting the bump stops.

I have KW with H&R sways and the car handles well and is not much stiffer riding than stock. KW offers rebound and compression adjustment, whereas PSS9's offers only one adjustment.

I have no experience with JRZ, JIC or Moton but everyone seems to like those options as well.

 

I'm sorry, perhaps we are just not communicating. I thought you were discussing PSS9s on a 996TT. If you are too low to make an adjustment, you may have the shocks incorrectly installed...and as Buddy says, you are probably hitting the bump stops...bad. I can adjust mine with no jacks or hoists...

 

I had H&R coilovers -- hated them!!!!!

I also had Techart coilovers -- loved them!!!!

I now have JRZs -- I preferred the Techarts for normal street driving, but the JRZs are better at the limit (not that I will ever approach the limit).

Another update to the list:
PSS9 (limited height range, closest to stock, compression/rebound not independent)
JIC Cross
KW (a bit stiffer than stock)
H&R (unloved by Craig )
Gemballa (same as H&R?)
Techart (made by Bilstein per their web site))

I'd like to keep this thread alive for a few more days to see if it will reveal the coilover brand that has enough setting range to be useful for track days yet can be set "soft" enough (IOW, near stock) for a daily driving.

same question again:

is the Pss9 more confortable on "soft" mode than stock?

 

Pierre, I found the PSS9 even when set on a "stiffer" setting was more comfortable than stock.

 

i would go with JIC Cross.

 

Hi guys,
Some of you are saying PSS9 has height restrictions. Is that mean it cannot even get GT2 ride height from it?

 

Look into some Ohlins. They make a great mid-level coil-over. Only sub par to full race application from Moton or JRZ - with those two established companies only being second to Penske.
