Well...now Collin...don't you think that is a little personal??


Actually, I find the rate to be very supple still. I am going to keep it the way it is for now until I can get to the track or somewhere for some spirited driving. I've only had one afternoon of highway driving since installing the sways and to be honest, it's quite hard to tell.

I agree. There's almost no diff on the hiway or smooth road especially where u live. Around the ruts that we have here, the pss9 is bouncier than stock. I do notice however the car settles faster on freeway ramps, which is a good thing.

Kirby showed me how low his car was wrt Alex's. He can't even stick his foot underneath the front lip. Is yours that low?

Btw, so far is passes all my driveway tests

I asked them to match Kirby's ride height, so, yes we are the same. I did notice the freeway onramp at 101N was much more interesting the night I left Akkurat with the new sways. My car got faster...I swear!!!

I haven't made the attempt to do so...I will and let you know.

PS It did make it onto the Akkurat jack...which they had to use ...because it was too low to fit on the lift.

OK I just double checked again...It's not as low as I thought. I can stick a little bit of my foot under the lip...Alex and Fred's are much lower...lip wise.
