I have a PSS9 system for my 996 C4. How much will the ride comfort be compromised, if at all, by installing this system?

All comments are appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

 

if you set it at 9/9... it will feel just like stock.

 

define compromise man, i don't know where these guys come from, do they even begin to try to do a little bit of research?

 

FYI, I just had the PSS10 (essentially the same thing) installed and the ride comfort was rather dramatically improved.

 

jon, how much did you drop the car and what damping settings are you set at? thanks.

 

Well, the shop is a bunch of racing experts, so they kind of did what they thought was best . . . From my original fender heights, the front went down 1.5 inches and the back 1 inch. All 4 fenders are now at 25.5"

Regarding settings, I might adjust these a little just for fun. First, in case you end up with PSS10, for some reason Bilstein reversed the settings on the PSS10s.
PSS9s: 1-9, 9 being "softest"
PSS10s: 1-10; 1 being "softest"
For me they set it at 3. Our streets are in bad shape, and this feels great. Even at this setting I feel that cornering is better. My back is also happy.

 

You'll be much happier with the PSS9's on vs. stock suspension. Just do it
After install you can tweak around with the settings to your preference.

 

Thanks for the input everyone. I wasnt sure which setting to use. It seems that I am not the only one with that question. I appreciate the info and I am always happy to reciprocate any of my experience.

Really? You dont know what I am talking about? I think anyone that has been on this site for awhile knows your a chump. I feel confident in saying so.

Thanks for the tips! PSS9 going on next week!

 

PS: I asked the same question here and on Rennlist, with the following suggestions . . . (Front/Rear). Again, these were for PSS9s, not the 10s I ended up with:

6 F 5 R
4F 5R
4F 3R
5F 3R
7 7
7 6
5 4
4 4 (not as harsh . ..)
4 3 (too stiff--went to 9 9 )
3 3
7 4
5 4
4 3
5 4 on 18s
7 6
7 6 initial good idea
7 5
5 4

 

What's the point of that reply? If you have no inclination to help, why post the negative ****?
What went wrong with you?

 

I have to disagree on the Pss9 being reversed.On my set 9 is the stiffest.

 

That's interesting! I am no expert (obviously) so perhaps others might chime in. Kind of an important point for the OP.

 

1=stiffest on mine

 

On my PSS9 1=stiffest

 

My PSS9's are set at "6" both front and back. I'm quite happy with the ride.
