PSS9's are in *PICS*

I finally had a chance to finish the PSS9 installation. I was missing 2 nuts and 2 vibration rubber dohnuts. I purchased the PSS9's used from someone on this board. They unfortunatley did not send me all of the parts so I had to find out the hard way peices were missing. Anyway I still have not finished the Calipers and I am thinking possibly doing some upgrading (StopTech BBK F&R). So for now NO brakes!!! Anyone can drive WITH brakes... Skilz! it's much more fun driving that way anyways!

I think both the front and rears need to be raised 4-5mm thy are not by any means at the lowest points. I am also thinking with the offset of the new wheels I may need to roll the fenders. I would recommend doing the PSS9 install yourself save the $500 or so and turn some wrenches. It's not that difficult my next set will be a breeze.

Also, I really love the new wheels!

how much were they? i have some 19" 997 sport designs i am either going to paint or powder coat.....i am seeing wich way is best....i heard powder coating weakens the wheel if not done right...the heat...so there is a low temp process...painting is easy, but not as durable....so.....

Looks great... Can't wait to finish my car and my garage so that I can post such nice pictures .

What about 8 piston Brembo's, that would look awesome...But stick with yellow for the calipers(no red), it goes really well with the black rims and yellow body.

Oh and Eric, I will be sending a package to you tomorrow...Read the letter inside

The quote was for the lowering springs, not the whole coil over/shock/ strut likr the PSS9. Should be cheaper for just the springs, right? The quote included alignment.
